Bryce Quinlan and Hunt Athalar try to return to normal life. Perhaps they saved the Crescent City from imminent destruction, but they have been through too much themselves. So don’t they deserve at least a little rest? But fate has plans for each of the heroes.
The rebels are determined to overthrow the age-old tyranny of the Asteri at any cost. Rulers aren’t ready to surrender so easily. Bryce and Hunt have to learn more about the rebels’ plans than they should—and by accident they end up pulled into them. The choice is obvious: they can’t stay aside when others are oppressed. Quinlan and Athalar decide to risk their own lives to infiltrate the Asteri’s citadel and obtain weapons capable of ending their dictatorship once and for all.
