"I am the rescuer of the weak. The hope of those who have none. And the executioner of vempar kind. I am your worst nightmare."

With the events of the Festival Duel over, Cyrus wants to focus on training her Ability with metal. But trouble soon comes in the form of a shapeshifter: the White Ghost, who's determined to exterminate all vempar kind, and he's seeking the power of the Swan Princess in order to carry out his plan.

Seriously, why can't people just leave Cyrus alone? She doesn't want to be the Swan, some reborn hero from legend! She just wants to be with her friends and train to become a Draev Guardian. Is that too much to ask for?

Apparently, it is. The Oracle, who happens to be a faeryn child, can lead the Ghost right to her-and the Impure Nights, as well. Harlow must keep the Oracle safe, but with the Academy's yearly Hunters Race coming up, things get even more complicated. The Scourgeblood in Aken's veins is awakening, and to face the powerful shapeshifter, Cyrus's fellow Draevs-in-training may have to pay the ultimate price...
