The Star of Sissel only visits once every three years, and Prince Christopher is determined to accompany Eli to meet this band of nomadic scholars. But mischief is afoot…

Christopher vividly remembers the day he met Eli, but Eli can't recall their first meeting. She'll need to turn back the pages of time to remember that long-ago encounter.

An apparently harmless prank takes a deadly turn when Eli and Lord Irvin find themselves surrounded by unexpected enemies in the darkness of the old castle.

Thoughts and emotions in turmoil, Elianna needs to speak with Christopher, but his busy schedule makes it nearly impossible to find the answers she seeks.
