When you face the end, who will you become?
Wick the now-human and Archer the broken seraph awaken in a burning city, and that’s the least of their troubles.
Archer can’t manage to talk to his brother about their losses back home. His fruit drink concoctions still taste nothing like his mother’s did, and on top of it all, something in the forest seems to be hunting him down.
Wick struggles to keep his head above water, striving to help his own people and navigate increasingly complicated relationships, all while doing his best to stop Archer from spiraling.
Oh, and the dragonkin army has presented an ultimatum: surrender the Heather Stones or die.
Refugees flood the Valley of the Centaurs, taking up resources that they don’t have and asking questions that no one can answer. Wick and Archer’s enemies, old and new, crowd to their doorstep, looking for help. They have just a few weeks to prepare for battle with an enemy they hardly understand, and with no working Heather Stones left to help them, Aro is running out of options.
In the face of so much grief, is it worse to be bitter, or broken?
