It's been two months since Maia found the Resistance, but not all is well. Her orisary disappeared after facing Athalea, leaving the young girl unable to fulfill the Abecedarian prophecy. But when Maia begins to have magical seizures that turn her into a danger to those around her, she knows she can't wait for her powers to return on their own. With the help of Hugoh, Rike, Gabor, and a couple of new friends, she must traverse the breadth of Madonia to seek the help of one who may be able to cure her. It is a slim chance, but it is the only hope she has of regaining her strength before Athalea attacks again. Meanwhile, Athalea knows Maia is capable of challenging her, and Zorach is not pleased that his worst enemy has found an army to support her. Now the sorceress' life hangs in the balance if she does not kill Aeromaia Abecedarian before the girl has a chance to grow in power.
