She searched all over for him, but could not find him. Eliana received instructions to kill the Wolf, a high-ranking member of the Red Crown’s council. She was sent into the mountains and earthshakers tried to kill her, but she fought them off with the help of a strange voice that appeared inside her head.Ī thousand years later in a country called Orline, in a time without magic, a physically indestructable bounty hunter named Eliana worked for the cruel and fascist Emperor to find and kill Red Crown loyalists.

In order to find out which one she is, the Archon concocts a series of trials to test her loyalty and power. Her powers explode and she saves him, but the king and his council are furious with her for lying about her powers because there is a prophecy that promises two queens will be born with access to all seven elements, one with the power to save the world, and the other with the power to destroy the world.


Halfway through, she sees a team of assassins attempting to kill Audric. She is in love with Prince Audric, her dear friend, who is engaged to her best friend, Ludivine. She decides to disobey her father and enter a horse race. Rielle has more power than any other person alive, and is able to control all seven elements, but her father makes her control herself because her powers are dangerous, as she learned when she accidentally set her house on fire and killed her mother when she was just five. From here on out, the chapters alternate between third-person perspectives following the lives of Rielle and Eliana. The first chapter goes back in time two years. Simon took the child and tried to use his magic to transport to Borsvall, but instead moved through time. Rielle blew herself up with her magical powers so that Corian would not be able to read her mind. Corian came into the room and demanded she give him the child. Rielle gave her daughter to Simon and asked him to flee with her to Borsvall. Simon’s father threw himself out a window before Corian could realize Simon was also a marque.

But an angel named Corian entered his father’s head and discovered that he was a marque, a human-angel hybrid. Simon, the healer’s son, came in and saw the child and hoped that now he and his father could flee the city. The novel begins with a prologue in which Queen Rielle of Celdaria gave birth to her daughter. The following version of the book was used to make this guide: Legrand, Claire.
