Insurrection
The Rodeam kingdom has become overbearing — rewriting its troubled past and experimenting on its own people. When Arionna’s sister is taken by the Rodeam, she agrees to learn the ancient arts under a manipulative Temporer, Melchior.
When a task leaves her unconscious and injured, a mysterious man named Galil finds her and vows to keep her safe. But when Arionna wakes, keeping that vow proves far harder than he ever imagined.
Meanwhile, turmoil plagues the Five Shields kingdom. Their once-ironclad alliance with the Rodeam is all but shattered, and King Draven must pass his rule to his only heir, Perditia. War is brewing — and the lands may yet fall into darkness and flame.
