Arryn and her allies are pushed into increasingly dangerous territory as the conflict surrounding Arcadia expands. The journey takes them far from the familiar forests and cities they once knew, into harsh lands where magic, weather, and enemies can become equally deadly. Every step forward reveals another piece of the larger struggle—and another reason to question what they thought they understood.
Arryn is no longer simply fighting for herself. She carries the hopes of the people who raised her, the promise she made to her parents, and the lives of those who have chosen to follow her.
But enemies are learning how powerful she has become.
Ancient magic, deadly creatures, hostile forces, and bitter rivals stand between Arryn and the answers she needs. Meanwhile, the forces working against her continue to manipulate events from a distance, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
In a world consumed by cold and danger, Arryn must rely on more than her magic.
Because sometimes the greatest threat isn't the wasteland outside.
It's what the journey forces you to become.
