Kestra accepted her role as the Infidante and tried to use the Olden Blade to kill Lord Endrick. When her plan fails, Endrick takes her memories to warp her into his puppet. When she is again kidnapped by the Coracks, she has no idea who she was, nor who Simon is to her. In order to restore her memories, she must dare to claim her magic. But if she does, then she will lose Simon forever.
Things get quite complicated in this second book. I must admit I felt betrayed when Endrick took Kestra’s memories. I know Kestra couldn’t just kill Endrick in the first chapter, but it felt like a trick. I think I just have to accept that the magic and the danger takes a back seat to the romance - very convoluted romance.
