In the compelling sequel to Nemesis, Princess Sepora (whose body produces an element that can either heal or destroy) is engaged to King Tarik for a strategic alliance, although she wishes their hearts aligned. Trust becomes a luxury as their kingdoms are threatened. Capricious royals, power struggles, and political scandals abound in the futuristic fantasyland with hints of ancient Egypt.
