After the most chaotic two weeks of her young life, Amber Martel finds herself back in the comfort and safety of her grandparents' house on Prince Edward Island. Her parents are safe, her friends are by her side, and they have time to lick their wounds and reassess their next steps. Finally, she has returned to the place she longed for: home.But Amber can't relax. Not when her dragon, Ddraig, is struggling to heal from a grievous wound. Not when fear and memories keep her up at night. Not when a visit to an old haunt reveals the origins of her magic, a new threat to her loved ones, and a potential target in Arman's plan to reopen the rifts and let monsters flood the world once more.Forced to return to life on the road, Amber must grapple with emerging romantic feelings, protecting her friends from the things they want most, and the unbearable weight of truth and deceit.

Amber Martel just wants to get through her Master's degree. Or at least make an attempt at it. She's early into her first semester and is feeling the weight of self-doubt and heartbreak as she tries to organize her thesis and deal with living on her own for the first time. It's more than enough stress in her 23-year-old life.A research trip to a natural history museum throws her life into new chaos, however, when she touches a piece of quartz and unleashes an explosion that is destructive, powerful - and magical. Now Amber finds herself in the care of two women who claim to have connections to the origins of magic. They tell Amber that she is special, that magic outside their family is unprecedented, and that she needs to help them.Amber wants nothing more than to go home, but it soon becomes clear that might not be safe. Strangers attack them with magic they shouldn't possess, local police are pointing to them as terrorism suspects, and an enemy from the early days of magic has returned - even though he should be long dead.
