The hunt for a cure led them into the heart of the Between, but what price will they have to pay to secure it?

Caught in a deadly trap made of their own memories, Nea and Garret must find their way out before it's too late. But, as they delve deeper into the unfathomable wilds of the Between, they find themselves confronted with knowledge that changes everything they thought they knew.

Back in their home realm, Margot is desperate for something to keep her distracted from Nea and Garret's prolonged absence. With the mounting rumours of restless dead, and a tangled web of secrets left behind by Nea, she goes on a quest for answers that will lead her straight to the City of Stars. There she learns that Evard plans to claim the mantle of the gods for himself. An act which will sunder the barrier between worlds and plunge the known realms into chaos.
