The Undying Illusionist
Arcadia survived its first battles. Now the real danger is coming.
Arryn has begun to find her place in a city that once feared the druids, but peace proves fragile. Beyond Arcadia's walls, the Remnant are moving closer, and their attacks are becoming impossible to dismiss as isolated incidents. The city's Guard is poorly trained, its defenses are dangerously inadequate, and Arryn knows that when the next attack comes, good intentions will not be enough to save anyone.
As the threat grows, so does the mystery surrounding the people manipulating events from within the shadows.
Arryn and Cathillian are forced to confront enemies who cannot be defeated simply by strength. Magic, deception, political maneuvering, and hidden loyalties turn allies into potential threats. And somewhere in the middle of it all is an enemy who understands that controlling what people see can be just as powerful as controlling what they believe.
Arryn has always trusted her instincts.
But what happens when even her own senses can no longer tell her what is real?
The battle for Arcadia is only beginning—and this time, the enemy may already be inside the walls.
