Dawsyn sits in the queens' dungeon, awaiting execution and haunted by memories of Ryon's death. Her miraculous escape from the Ledge brought her here, but mercy will not follow. Village friends arrive to rescue her, pulling her back into a world where her newfound powers surge beyond her control. She struggles to harness these unstable abilities while learning to trust her companions again after fresh betrayals wound her. The group recovers and prepares for their next mission. They must climb the dangerous mountain slopes back to the Glacian kingdom. Their goal remains the same: save the people still trapped on the Ledge. Dawsyn faces battles that require both weapons and willpower. She discovers that an entirely new evil waits for her at the journey's end.
