Ryker Isladore recently discovered he is the previously believed dead Fae King. But it isn't all coronations and revolution like he'd hoped.Bramble's Edge Academy was established to train Fae how to control and wield their elemental power. And, Ryker has only completed one of three years. He has more power than he has bargained for and no idea how to utilize it. Let alone eliminate the ones responsible for his parent's death before they get to him, too.Word gets out that the king is back, and his friends scramble to mask his identity. Those responsible for the destruction of Fae society turn up the heat. Maurelle, along with Brokk, one of Ryker's best friends, ends up getting burned.Whether he likes it or not, Ryker must take huge risks if he is going to save those he loves and have a shot at freeing the rest of the realm. The clock is ticking, and time has almost run out.
