Secrets spell trouble for a group of trainees threading their way through a minefield of rivalries, conflicting loyalties, and betrayals in the capital and beyond. Trainee Song-hee's repaying an honor debt to a local gang nearly costs a teammate his life. Meagre forgiveness leaves Song-hee isolated, his warnings unheeded, as the team heads into trouble at their mentor's country estates. While the team's reputation grows, hiding the prince-to-come in their midst may break them.
Welcome back to the Kingdom of Coranna where competing internal factions are played by neighboring empires, and where a small band of trainees strives to shore up the previous generation's fraying peace accords. The group's unique talent to mobilize crystal energy draws unwanted attention as they struggle to find harmony with each other.
