Making a bargain with a Xsa captain leads Elle to learn the depths of the betrayal, and realizes that Falsheim is in greater danger than she imagined. She must strengthen her bond with the elemental, and find a way to stop the attack, or the city—and all of Doma—will fall. Part 3 of Elle’s story, set in the Cloud Warrior Saga.
