Now widely believed to be dead, Afearia struggles to find the will to fight while the world she swore to save continues to be tightly controlled by its king. However, despite her absence, change has begun to move across the land. Its people have begun to revolt. Countries further from the king's grasp have made their own rules. Even the realms outside of Terra are plotting to end king Derexen's reign. With so many players making their move, Afearia must find a way back into the fray while coming to terms with where she stands in the middle of this growing conflict.
