About the book: year / After spending the summer apart, Titus and Iolanthe (still as Archer Fairfax) rush to return to Eton and resume preparations for battle with Likhodey. Iolanta, no longer bound by a blood oath, is more determined than ever to fulfill her destiny - especially since the ring of Atlantean spies is shrinking ever tighter. However, soon after returning to school, Titus makes a startling discovery. Everything about their mission will be in doubt. Stunned by what she learned, Iolanta is forced to come to terms with her new role, and Titus is forced to decide whether to follow his mother’s predictions, as before, or to pave a different path into the unknown future..
