When I finished the first book, I thought that there was no where for the series to go. Man, did this book prove me wrong! An envoy from his uncles kingdom, Dansii, arrives unexpectedly, bringing along a gorgeous woman that none of the men in the guard unit seem able to resist. Damien, for that matter, seems unable to resist. Alexa broke his heart, to do what is best for Antion, or so she believes. After several attacks on Antion by their new ally, Blevon, the countries seem to be at the brink of war, again. Then Jax, Damien's half brother, is kidnapped, and Alexa goes looking to rescue him. She witnesses a new kind of sorcery, and has to fight her way back to Damien in order to break him from the spell that the Lady Vera has him under. So many twists and turns, Larson really knows how to keep her readers guessing and on their toes. She's put in a position where she has to choose who to save, has to try to keep everyone she cares about alive. The odds seem to be stacked against Alexa, as war with someone seems inevitable. She manages to escape capture again, but at what cost? She now has a secret to keep, and she needs to figure out a loophole so she can protect everyone she loves. Ultimately, she has to fight enemy infiltration, her feelings for both Rylan and Damien, her loyalty to Antion, and even those she loves. 
Sorry, this review is a mess, but I'm really trying not to spoil anything, as there are so many plots going on.
