And with his constant flashbacksâand lingering feelings of loyalty toward his former comradesâDineas wonders if his kinsmen might be right.
Meanwhile, Zivah faces growing pressure to betray her healerâs vows. Is it worth honoring the Goddessâs wishes if it means the destruction of all she knows? On top of that, sheâs having flashes of feverâsigns that her illness is returning to claim her.
As the world around them threatens to collapse, Zivah and Dineas must decide how they feel about each other. Was the love and friendship they shared in Sehmar City an illusion, or is it strong enough to save them all?
