Free of the vixen trap, Tracy Lupin ponders her next move. The daemon Zalophus still desires her power, and so does the goddess Kellandra. Tracy learns she must find the lost and hidden city of Argentos and uncover its secrets to end The Game once and for all. With an aggrieved Lord Rabelan bent on revenge and the Defenders determined to stop her at all costs, her passage will not be without danger. But the Suborian army is also on the march, aiming to capture the newfound Priestess and remove her from the world, to lock her away where she can do no harm. Can Tracy succeed and end The Game for good, or will the prophecised darkness fall to claim not just her soul, but the whole of Esgar?
