She has lost her family and her beloved prince in her search for justice against the evil Empress. All Zilan wants now is to find some way to bring them back.

And when old threats come back to haunt Zilan, she will have to decide just how much she is willing to sacrifice to save her loved ones--and the practice of alchemy that has long defined her and the world around her"--Provided by publisher.
