Four years after their separation, Thaleon and Dawyn have settled into their new lives, each believing the other dead.
No longer a novice mage, Thaleon continues his studies at Allesdale on a comfortable routine of magic lessons and working in the infirmary. Dawyn is making the best of his life in the one place he never wished to be—the Crown’s army. His days are filled with training and lessons to prepare him for the life of hunting down rogue mages.
Unexpected events shatter the calm of their new lives and Thaleon and Dawyn once again find themselves in danger. Thaleon leaves the safety of Allesdale and embarks on a hopeless quest to Taliehin—the frozen wasteland of ice and monsters. Dawyn is captured by a valekyn group and must keep his identity a secret while facing impossible odds in a battle for his and a friend’s life.
