After surviving the battle in Dalelry and uncovering the King of River Storm’s lies, Kienna finds refuge in Dove Port with Moira. Apprenticing under an infamous woodcarver, she begins uncovering pieces of her heritage that point to a far greater purpose. In the process, she learns the weight of trust and that love may not be the weakness she once feared.
Across Alistile, the other Guardians begin carving their own paths. Deep within the Malintale Forest, Danek pledges himself to Connak and the legendary Hollow Blades. Far to the north, Broan journeys into the frozen mountains to seek an alliance with the reclusive Mountainborn Vikings. Meanwhile, Moira struggles to understand the visions that haunt her dreams, even as her growing bond with Tislin brings warmth to the dark.
But escaping River Storm was never enough to escape Vaerin.
