The Everlasting King has been dealt a blow. But the blow has only brought Huon and those he fights beside to the Everlasting King's attention. Though Huon has reached the rank of Low Celestial faster than he had anticipated while destroying one of the Everlasting King's stockpiles of stolen cores, he fears that his newfound strength won't be enough to protect his friends. As the Everlasting King's fleet prepares to sail for Taloniar, their only hope to prevent full-on war between the two continents is to find and destroy the other stockpiles of cores before the fleet reaches its destination.
