Harrison Stone knew they'd taken a risk returning to Carlisse, but had no idea how truly shattering the consequences of rescuing Queen Nadia would be. Barely escaping the city with his life, Harrison returns to the mage sanctuary in Arencia to understand the fiery power that has overwhelmed Rylie whilst also getting aid for Zack, who has been severely wounded.

Time is of the essence as hunters become the hunted, friends are called upon in the hour of need, and the Imperator's determination threatens to destroy them all.
