The fight for survival has begun.

The Dalinda are no longer whispers of legend. They are real, and the church will do anything to erase them. With only a handful aware of the truth, the First Elder knows his grip on power depends on silencing the Dalinda forever.

To endure, the Dalinda Council must gather for the first time in a century. But reaching their ancestral home means braving enemies on every road, betrayal at every turn, and the relentless pursuit of those desperate to reclaim what they lost.

Treena carries the burden of protecting Aven, a girl whose elemental gift grows faster than she can control. Sylvan struggles to adapt to a life stripped of privilege, haunted by fears he refuses to name. And Hadrian, triumphant at last as Master Shaymmi, finds her victory poisoned by suspicion. Her future tied to capturing the girl before anyone else.

Loyalties will fracture. Secrets will be buried in blood. And the fate of the Dalinda hangs on a journey where survival itself is the first battle.
