The Trials’ Worlds do not forgive mistakes, and Kay had to personally learn that. He managed to avoid death, but lost part of himself. And to get it back, he’ll have to overcome an enormous path filled with pain and deprivation. But in any case, Kay is no longer a pawn. If before he was only one of the participants in the events unfolding around him, now it’s time to become the one who both sets those events in motion and initiates them. The only question is this: will Kay stand his ground—or become another genius who disappears without a trace? Because here, one willpower isn’t enough. As in all of the Oikoumene, in the Trials’ Worlds, power and mastery rule first of all. Mastery of combat arts!
