Et être marié à son ennemi juré n’est pas de tout repos. Talasyn doit endosser le rôle d’impératrice docile tout en prenant garde à ceux qui veulent sa perte ; Alaric, concentré sur la menace capable d’engloutir le monde, pourra-t-il les protéger des machinations de son père ? Ensemble, ils détiennent un pouvoir unique, mais sauront-ils se faire confiance ? Car, au cœur des Guerres du Typhon, les secrets peuvent tuer.
