'One fights for power and revenge. The other fights for atonement. Only one will prevail, but at what cost?

'In the aftermath of the battles in Kengia and Lamore, Theodora finds herself an outcast in the icy, barren lands of Northem.

'Theodora fights for acceptance from her adopted people but it will rely on conquering new lands and enlisting a lost friend to her cause. Only then will she have the power and revenge she desires.

'In Kengia, Arisa is trying to come to terms with the breakdown of her relationship with Takai, when the newly crowned Lamorian King asks her to go to Ette where they must deal with unfinished business.

'Unable to resolve their own differences, Arisa searches for Rea and Takai tries to make amends to the nations his father oppressed.

'Old friends are united and enemies face off against terrifying creatures and each other, culminating in a final do or die battle in Ivane.

'But this time around, victory will depend on much more than magic. It will be determined by loyalty, love, honour and letting go of everything you thought you wanted.'
