Two souls from different realms. Bound by sacrifice. Torn by fate. For eleven years, Sumrects have trapped humans in an alternate realm where an ancient evil brew, awaiting its nemesis... A nineteen-year-old human stands in the way, but she does not know it yet... Dawn has more pressing matters at hand. Competition to be Portrait Artist at Crimson Estate is fierce. One hour to paint. One lives. One dies. And participation is not voluntary. To save her brother’s life, Dawn ensures her own execution by painting a magical device the Sumrects despise—the Eye of Elektron. Banned from use, the Eye of Elektron has not functioned since the failed human rebellion against Sumrectian tyranny eleven years ago. Somehow, it comes to life in her hands... And captures the attention of Ansel Cassadian, the most powerful Sumrect in a thousand years. Strangely, he seems to know everything about her difficult past—a past that holds the key to her future. As evil threatens to destroy all she holds dear, Dawn must reawaken the Eye of Elektron in time to free the humans and save the Sumrect who risked his destiny to protect her.
