Shadebloom: The Gardener's Hand, Book 3 (Unabridged‪)‬

Separated from her companions and abducted, Alizhan is delivered back to Laalvur, right into Iriyat’s clutches. 

Iriyat has tightened her hold on the city in Alizhan’s absence, magically manipulating the other Council members and further charming the public.

No one believes she is capable of plotting an experiment that could destroy cities. All alone, what hope does Alizhan have to convince Laalvur of the truth?
