The

explosive conclusion to the Branded Season duology: two sisters harness

their powers and fight for their lives, their loves and their freedom. Nara

and her twin sister, Osha, have escaped the brutal clutches of the

Citadel and Wastelanders and have arrived in the Shadow City of Reis. In

the Shadow City, power plays are rife and rumours abound of a Pure

healer with the ability to cure the Branded. New allies emerge alongside

familiar faces as the city churns with this long-awaited prophecy that

many would kill to see come true – and all eyes are on Osha. Nara must

protect her sister; their powers are growing stronger, and it’s vital

they learn to wield them. Before

long Nara is caught between her first love and the one who’s stolen her

heart but betrayed her trust. Surrounded by lies and deception she is

left uncertain who she truly is and what she can believe. Dark forces

are taking control across the continent, and the Branded must rise to

survive.
