Imogen is something more than the First of the Blade. Now she must understand it. Having thwarted a Porapeth plan, Imogen struggles to understand the gift that Benji gave her. She has knowledge that she could never have imagined, but for her to lead, she needs understanding. When Imogen finds herself chasing after her brother once again, she isn't sure what he's after. Power, but from where? The answer reveals a new truth to Imogen, and it's one that might be enough for her to lead the Leier and Koral—or destroy them.
