The world reclaims all things. Humanity shelters within their ever-dying cities. Mages and Archons create the only path forward.
Tala, a newly Bound Archon, strives against challenges, new and old, as the world opens up before her; even if her understanding is far from complete. Her responsibilities to her caravan have increased, with the newly added complication of being under the watchful eye of an overseer.
Determined to embrace and decipher her newfound power, not to mention chipping away at the debt that propels her forward, she faces a treacherous path to a new city, which has already proven to be more dangerous than her journey to Alefast, and they've only just begun.
Tala is learning valuable lessons about herself, the world around her, and the people who she is determined to protect as she settles into her new power and position as a Bound.
