One year Xan accidentally feeds a baby moonlight instead of starlight filling the ordinary child with extraordinary magic Xan decides she must raise this girl whom she calls Luna as her own As Luna s thirteenth birthday approaches her magic begins to emerge with dangerous consequences Meanwhile a young man from the Protectorate is determined to free his people by killing the witch Deadly birds with uncertain intentions flock nearby A volcano quiet for centuries rumbles just beneath the earth s surface And the woman with the Tiger s heart is on the prowl
