NIKKEAH TARANIS is a Stormcasting superstar. Having ascended to the lofty rank of champion at the Spectrum stadium, Nikkeah enjoys a life of stardom high above his caster kin. The next step in his career: conquering the annual Invocation tournament, in which two dozen elite casters pit their magic and wit against each other for the chance at ultimate fame and fortune. In the days before the tournament, a sinister force sabotages Nikkeah's ability to compete fairly, trapping him in the threads of a much darker plot that dismantles his glamorous life and sets him against his beloved city. Armed with little more than his outrage and wild magic, Nikkeah charges down the road to retribution. But what he discovers at the end may leave him with more questions than answers.
