The high stakes of Alera’s future collide when the ambitious High Lord of Kalare rebels against the aging First Lord Gaius Sextus. To secure her realm, Sextus must rely on the capricious High Lord of Aquitaine, forming an uneasy alliance. Meanwhile, young Tavi of Calderon joins a newly formed legion under a false identity. When Kalare unites with the bestial Canim, Tavi’s army’s leadership shatters from within, leaving him to guide a ragged, under‑equipped force against the looming horde threatening to drown the realm in war.
