“You were the one who wanted to save the world,” he said, quietly. “I just wanted to save you.”

Tisaanah bargained away her freedom to the Orders as a means to save the friends she left behind and is now being forced to fight a war. Max will do anything to protect Tisaanah, even if that means becoming the military strategist he was before. With betrayal and subterfuge behind every corner, they will have to rely on Max's mind, Tisaanah's determination and Reshaye's power to make it through the most dangerous conflict yet. 

This pushed straight into five stars, as I had predicted, but was still worried I was holding this series to standards that were too high. The twists and turns in this one were so well done! The political intrigue, betrayals and of course Tisaanah's plans had me flying through this book. I am almost scared to read the last one, because it feels like it just might break me.
