For thousands of years, stories told of the terrible Sorceress who gave all her power to end the ancient world. But those were just stories. Now, new stars dot the sky—signs of Sorceress Jocina’s power returning so she can finish the job.

For A’banna, these signs mark the end of her service to the Sorceress as priestess. Commanded to sacrifice a living being in Jocina’s name, she can’t do it. A’banna flees into the jungle, but the world is far different than she knows. Worse, she’s hunted by Jocina’s sadistic son and monstrous creations. Nature itself seems against her.

Bedel and Raynt, elite agents of the Magical Affairs Commission and powerful essencers, might be her only hope. They’ve devoted their lives to holding back Jocina’s darkness. When they find A’banna on the edge of death, all missions pause to protect her.

Stranded after the portals closed, Ashton, Matt, Curran and Toker are victims of their own success… And now evil has risen in Darkdram once more, threatening destruction as in days of old. The four’s only hope lies in uniting the fractured peoples of the West for a unified defense— Something that may be harder than facing the enemy itself!
