With one sacrifice remaining, the Rogue Demon is close to resurrecting history's most dangerous king. His sights are now set on the Intel Kingdom, a world power in the eyes of most.
This makes Bryson--considered the most talented Intelian currently alive--a prime target. Alas, he's found himself absent of all weaving abilities following his lightning storm during the Blizzard of Blood. He must discover a way to retain his electrical abilities before the Rogue Demon finds him.
As the world prepares for the eventual clash between titans, the rest of the Jestivan search for information about the Rogue Demon and those closest to him. They'll sail for whirlpools that connect realms, visit the holy city of trees where the very first sacrifice took place, and infiltrate the headquarters of the demon's operations.
Meanwhile, one Jestivan begins his translations of an ancient text from a timeline before his, learning of two Originators who sparked the end of an era. And another woman, once a Jestivan but long removed from her peers, seeks vengeance on an entire kingdom in a catastrophic way.
The empires have taken notice.
