"Tell me how my brother died."
After years of mourning, Princess Kyra is stunned after discovering her brother Deric alive-and leading the rebellion against their parents, the King and Queen of Calmora. With each turn, Kyra grapples with new allies and foes. But she must wear the mask of a dutiful princess to win the political games fate has dealt her.
Meanwhile, in a world of monotony and despair, Twila's life is devoid of color. For a decade, she has been trapped behind gray walls, separated from a family she can no longer remember, and cowering away from her masked captors. Her days are punctuated by painful treatments and impossible tests, with only brief moments of respite.
As Kyra navigates the treacherous paths of politics and power, Twila searches for light in the darkest of places. But even in the midst of darkness and despair, it is hope that will bring these two girls closer together than they could have ever dreamed possible.
