Summary:

“Magic might be this city’s first currency, but blood is its second.”

They survived mancers. They survived monsters. They survived the Storm.

With the mountains behind them and Illredus on the horizon, they thought the hardest part of the journey over.

They were wrong.

Outlawed and on the run, Lyss struggles to control her new and volatile magic. A magic that will destroy her.

Her only hope: Find the last remaining witch to tame it.

Her only clue: Buried in Illredus. City of mancers. Capital of the Empire.

Together, she and Skaar descend into Illredus’ underbelly and discover a warren of illegal magics and the monstrous legacy Lyss’ father left behind.

As truth, loyalties, and magic clash, Lyss must decide how far she’ll go to exact justice in her father’s name…

And how far she’ll fall to rule the power inside her once and for all.
