When Maleen arrives in Dranneth, she hopes to connect with loyal Ardeners so they can plan to retake Arden from King Gregor and Prince Melanor of Pandor. She’s determined to accomplish this on her own terms: she’ll continue to hide behind the safety of the Dragon Fever veil and remain dead to Crown Prince Jared of Dranneth.

Maleen chooses the tower, hoping it will give her beloved Prince Melanor of Pandor time to rescue her. But Melanor doesn’t arrive in time, and Maleen must come to terms with her decision.
