Blurb:

Twenty-two-year-old Aern is done watching his brother destroy the only thing that matters. He never wanted to take Morgan’s place among council, never wanted to rule their hidden world. But when the key to the prophecy is found, a young girl named Brianna whom Morgan will destroy, Aern knows he has to take action.

What he really wants, is for things to go back to normal. But now he’s kidnapped a girl, and his brother’s men are after him. His only hope is to join with the Division, but they have plans of their own, and it’s the last thing Aern is willing to do.
Emily just wants her sister back. She doesn't care about the prophecy, or realize what’s at stake. But when she goes after Aern, the truth of the matter uncoils, and Brianna isn't the only one who’s in danger.

Suddenly, they’re at the center of a secret war, and unless they can work together, they’ll both have a sacrifice too big to make.

okay, so while this book was a slow burner.... and it took me a while to get the story to make me enthralled.... after about 15% through it happened.... that pivotal moment where **GASP** and all of a sudden I am LIVING THIS BOOK!! Well, it happened...!! Learning about this amazing world that Melissa Wright has put us all into was AMAZING!! Aern was a bit plain and cut straight a bit too much for me at the beginning but I quickly began liking his story more and more.... and then had to RE-read the fact that Aern has DRAGONblood?? WOW!! Loved this story and hope to be able to fit book two in the descendants series in my reading schedule asap!!

I give this book 5 out of 5 shields!!
