In a struggle between DeRael’s two biggest powers, Arica Tanson is pressured to figure out who her allies are, but her impulsive magic is taking her on a fast path to destroying DeRael on her own.
​
A few weeks after the battle over Castle Kopion, Arica Tanson has given up plans of saving the world and settles into her duties as tyro of the Zenian Court. At least, she’s trying. Helping DeRael becomes bittersweet as she witnesses the Dovevians’ grip tighten as they pull out tricks that even the veterans haven’t seen. Arica might not know what she needs to do, but she knows how to do it, and despite reservations from her leaders, she takes the help of a notorious villain.
Arica struggles to control her growing power as she's immersed in a battle of strategy and strength far outside her skill set. With her unique sight strengthened by a former master, she strives to get the court to see the path in front of them. If they can’t, she might not have a choice but to go through them. Her focus is on saving DeRael, but will she do any good if it means becoming one of this world’s greatest threats herself?
