Danger Is In The Cards Kira Talon’s future has never looked brighter. She’s got a new home in New Argana. Its brilliant and enigmatic leader Trevor Harrison has agreed to train her in magic. And as she settles into the next stage of her life, she’s finally beginning to get over her grief at the loss of her old friends. But when Harrison gets word of a high-ranking member of the Talented who wants to defect from her sadistic society and escape to New Argana, Kira knows her lifelong experience with the nonmagical community will be instrumental to the mission’s success. She and Harrison travel to one of the ground cities to find the woman, setting into motion a treacherous chain of events that will threaten them all. Meanwhile, Kira’s tale isn’t the only one revealed. From his beginnings as a young child witnessing a horrific murder, to his ascendance as the icy master of the Obsidian in Las Vegas, to the desperate act that leads to his discovery of his unprecedented magical talent and his background spanning two dimensions, Trevor Harrison’s history weaves its thread with Kira’s and lifts the veil on his mysterious past. Return again to Calanar, land of magic and danger. Your guides are skilled and powerful, but you must remain watchful. Even they cannot anticipate every threat.
