Eine Liebe - zwei Welten - unzählige Feinde. Eigentlich sollte Talisha rundum glücklich sein - sie hat ihre Heimat Remavo gerettet, die Gegner von einst zu Verbündeten gemacht und sie darf bald ihre große Liebe Krian heiraten. Aber anstatt sich auf die Hochzeitsplanung konzentrieren zu können, hat sie alle Hände voll damit zu tun, die ehemals verfeindeten Welten zu einem friedlichen Reich zu verschmelzen. Das gestaltet sich allerdings deutlich schwerer als geahnt, denn Missgunst, Machtgier, Hass und Furcht führen zu allerlei Konflikten zwischen Remavonern und Daraniern.

Um den drohenden Krieg zwischen den Welten zu verhindern, schleicht sich Talisha ins feindliche Heerlager.
