Talise’s spiritual journey is complete, but the enemy is more powerful than ever. Rivers have been drained and forests burned to the ground, all in the name of change. Despite her own desire for change, the current destruction could wipe out entire cities if it continues. To stop it, she must steal a priceless artifact. But with such a powerful enemy, even a simple heist could end in death. She must hide her soldiers. She must ask for help from someone who might hate her. She must train like she’s never trained before. Even then, she knows she’s walking into a trap. If she succeeds, Kamdaria will be safe again. And if she fails, her life won’t be the only one that is lost.
