PART II | In the catastrophic aftermath of Ashes of the Throne, our heroes find themselves strangled in a world where the weight of their choices now holds life-altering consequences.

Love is frayed. Loyalties tested.
And power, once seized, proves harder to carry than they ever imagined.
Now, with love on the line and their backs against the wall, our warriors, must make impossible choices and surrender to impossible sacrifices that could bring their world to its knees.
