'A journey worth pursuing to the end' - KIRKUS
'Lush and exciting' - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Unlikely alliances must be forged, impossible myths made real, and an ancient lost city must be raised from the depths of the sea

Peace in one world always comes at a cost to the other

Toba and Naftaly's lives changed forever when Toba discovered the mirrored world of the Maziks beyond the Pomegranate Gate. On the run again, they make their way to a magnificent city overflowing with olives, spices and salt - but it's not the safe haven they need. The republic has turned its back on fleeing refugees, and is closing its ears to warnings of war. Meanwhile, the tyrannical King Tarses is building his army to begin his invasion.

With time running out, Naftaly must learn to control his visions that threaten to destroy him. Toba knows that looming war is only the beginning: she must discover her own destiny by restoring the balance between worlds.
