Evylin is desperate to escape her grief.
After losing her uncle, Evylin questions if the gamble she took, marrying Deckard for a life of adventure, had too steep of a cost. Clouded in sorrow and confusion, Evylin seeks solace in their quest to save Ephria and Wauld from the tyrant Night Mage, neglecting the one choice she can’t bring herself to make: Can she risk loving Deckard if that means she might lose him too?
Deckard is intent on proving his love.
Dedicated to the promise he made to Hewitt, Deckard will find a way to secure Evylin’s happiness, no matter the cost. But this new life of theirs, serving a traitorous organization to bring back magic, has twisted everything he’s ever known. When he is forced to make choices in service to Evylin that bend his ethics, Deckard questions the man he’s becoming.
Along with their Ephrian comrades and the Calder siblings, they enter Wauld to retrieve the next three Relics. Their journey turns perilous as they travel through enemy forests and marshes, evading capture from the royal guard, Mages, and bounty hunters. With constant danger pursuing them, Evylin works to unravel the mysteries behind the lost magic of the Warriors while Deckard faces the hauntings of his choices and a burgeoning power.
