Five years after the realm was saved, Scarlet Evans is still waiting to rule it.

Heir apparent in name only, sixteen-year-old Scarlet has spent years watching her mother Ruth make every decision from behind a closed door. But when strange distortions ripple across Indiretta—fires snuffed out, children recounting memories that never happened, bodies turning up in a cornfield—Scarlet begins to suspect that the woman who calls it support has never had the realm's interests at heart.

With a talking cat, a sister who has moved on with her own life, and a girl named Evony she's trying very hard not to think about, Scarlet sets out to save a world she never asked to inherit.

The Scarlet-Dawn is the second book in The Indirettan Chronicles.
