Dark Magic is coming back...
Finally, a chance to go home and relax. Or not. On their way back, they pass through the capital city. Someone, or something, is attacking people in the streets. Magical artifacts are going missing from some of the most secure buildings in the country. Whispers on the street have the Scouts involved somehow, but why? When the Civic Defence Forces detain her mentor, Aili barely escapes without being seen. There’s no way a Scout was involved, and she’ll prove it. While they waste time investigating innocent Scouts, Aili will find the real criminals. All she has to do is evade the law, investigate public buildings without being seen, and find out who’s behind the attacks and theft. But when magic at a crime scene looks familiar, Aili has to question things she thought were certain. The trail leads her across the country, alone, and still pursued by the law. All she has are her courage, abilities, determination, and some new friends she meets along the way... Will it be enough?
