What to expect
The Empire's reckoning may destroy the world itself.
But hope can be found even in the darkest despair.
Chaos reigns after the fateful decision to unleash the weapon known as the Star of Mersia, and a pervasive, deadly new magic wreaks devastation across the Empire.
When Arienne discovers the origin of this sinister magic, her sole purpose becomes to stop its spread. But this mission will bring her into the very heart of The Empire.
Meanwhile, Loran has sworn to bring true freedom to Arland, but the Empire's hold over the people is too strong. When she finds an unlikely ally, Loran will have to decide what she is willing to do in the name of freedom.
Join the battle to win a new destiny, but do not lose yourself to the fight.
