Mystifying, an unassuming shop of magic holds more than anyone knows. It protects a portal to other realms, and those realms are under threat.
Loinnir was saved, but with great sacrifice. When someone from Ana's past comes through the portal, grief and differences must be put aside in order to save a realm they thought was lost to them forever. While Eloas still exists, Kali's death has set forth the beginning of the end for the realm. Ana, Erin, and Melody must go through the portal and enter war before it is too late.
Briar has survived in Skia so far, but Lyra wants results. When she isn't getting them as quickly as she wants, Briar's safety is put at risk. Doyle's time for picking sides is drawing near, and his choice will mean Briar's life, or death.
Time is of the essence, and lives hang in the balance, but maybe some burdens are too heavy to carry.
