In Hedvika’s hands is a blue sphere—a bewitched heart hiding six other people’s lives. They merge into one and put a simple girl on the throne of Grigor’gorye. But will the new ruler of the Seven Lands be able to free herself from the terrible tribute, control the shadow thieves, and find magic without which the Lands are doomed to die? The main choice will have to be made alone. Time is passing, and with each day the line between the true past and stolen lives grows more and more phantom-like.
