Untoward Awakening is the riveting sequel to Throne of Lies and a stepping-stone to adventure and self-discovery.

Amethysta Serelle is alone. Her loved ones are gone, and her dire secret--her unexplained magical power--now rests solely on her wary shoulders.

To her fortune, a familiar face returns as her guide, and together they set out to far-off lands, traversing treacherous mountains and perilous seas, knowing that this is their final chance to alter Amethysta's fate--and perhaps that of the entire realm. The great unknown stretches out ahead, and the ghosts of the past are never far behind...
