There's fragile peace in Rhend, but shattered hearts aren't so easily mended.
Raw and broken by a world still roiling with hatred, Gastel dives head first into restoring balance to the magic of Rhend. As he navigates his new found power and the anger that blossoms with it, he'll need to rely heavily on new friendships, and learn to let go of the things he's lost forever.
Meanwhile, Belkin is handed a kingdom in chaos, which he doesn't feel remotely prepared to handle. Finding connection with the new regent of the Shaylands gives him hope for peace, but even with this new found ally, he'll need to confront his brother, Roulin, before The Bleck Larin Territories devolve into civil war.
They speed toward inevitable annihilation. The magic of the Wastelands is deteriorating faster than they can decipher what must be done to save Rhend. And one thing is certain: not everyone wants to stop the Sundering.
There are those who would see it through to the end.
