With her powers eclipsing every other witch around her, and with her baby dragon now fully grown, Astra is ready to take on her evil alien cousins once more in the fight for the Icarrion throne. But tragedy follows her every footstep, and grief threatens to overwhelm her and render her powerless. Beseiged on all sides, all seems lost. Then, those powers that took Astra to High Witch status desert her. Death stalks her and all who love her.

This second book in the Beyond the Bloodline Trilogy reintroduces the reader to the robot, the dragons, the androids, the witches, the aliens and the cannibal, and the reader gets to meet the Kulku - the powerful renegade witches whose queen is Astra's true nemesis - for the first time. Beset on all sides, the witch in Astra has to rise again to enable her to save not one, but two planets.
