A prophecy once echoed through Valeera, dividing Ardania into the Fair and the Strange—one promised peace, the other condemned. But the truth behind it has long been distorted.
Eighteen-year-old Mageia Unknown, born with forbidden purple eyes, leads a hidden group of Strange youths on the kingdom's outskirts. When a heroic act goes wrong, she discovers her fate is bound to the ancient prophecy—and the sacrifice it demands.
Prince Grisonce Arlon, shunned for his imperfection, seeks answers in the forgotten Fairest Prophecy. His search for the elusive "Purple Thief" uncovers a threat within the palace that may destroy the kingdom—and ties him to the girl he's sworn to capture.
As a shadowed enemy rises and prophecy stirs awake, both prince and fugitive must decide how much they are willing to risk. Kingdoms will tremble. Loyalties will shatter. And one purple-eyed thief may be the key to either salvation… or ruin.
