It grows. The sickness. The need to conquer. It seeps through the generations, devouring the truth of their powers. They are unbridled in fear, controlling what they should not control, ~ Words of the Lost Oracle
The generations of lies are falling apart; the truth peeks through the cracks, ready to reclaim its rightful place. Gods work in mysterious ways, and it brings fear to a Council that commanded their power.
Bennett’s desperation leads him back to the Pool of Destiny to find the truth of his power and lineage. Sophie and Mason are enlisted in the quest to uncover the Fates and what they could tell them about the coming future and decipher the past. Power like Bennett’s raises questions—the wrong kind from dangerous people.
Across the realm, left in Purple City, Chet, Emilia, and Cecilia try to manage and uncover the coming threats, finding a new way to live without their older brother, Rodrigo. Old wounds reopen, and the location of their lost brother, Valencio, becomes more unclear.
Despite the dangers, they all must prepare for the upcoming Pairing Tournament, but the consequences of presenting Bennett could mean more than just exile to the already damned Cervantes Family.
