The Guardians of Magic are separated. Shumuti has lost her guidance. Sara, even more than that. With the King of Attaching venturing across the Winterburn River in search of those who are disloyal to their enemy region, Nimaz, and half of the Guardians held prisoner in Ringstone Keep, Shumuti's task has become more of a personal one. She must decide whether to rescue her companions, even if she fears she is walking into a trap. As the nature of their enemy reveals itself more and more, new allies step forward. But who can they truly trust? While Shumuti learns that there is more behind the Magic of Meteorath, Sara begins to realise she has abilities of her own.
