Beware the oily dark, its power lurks deep. The Lady in Blue’s revenge is coming, a devastating power unleashed.

The mysterious Lady in Blue, long believed to be myth, has stepped from the shadows and dealt a decisive blow to the Kingdom of Eislekest. With the human army left reeling from the swift destruction, and no match for the ruthless undead army of nyradonn she commands, the king is left with no choice but to request aid from the other nations. But in a world of self-preservation and pride, his pleas have gone unanswered. 

Having emerged from the Forbidden Forest triumphant—and with the legendary Lightbringer sword—Laira, Willow, Sebastian, Thelas, and Faldorn are poised to follow the Prophecy of Souls once more to prevent the fall of Ilphemoura. Their newly forged bonds are a beacon in the dark as they are forced to confront their painful histories and finally let go of the past.

Family, duty, and sacrifice intertwine—the sword of sunlight and its bearer, the only way to defeat Ilphemoura’s greatest foe. But darkness lives within the blade, its own history written with blood and death. Tasked with wielding the blade and dealing the final blow to their enemy, Laira must not only wrestle with the impossible fight looming before her, but also the shadows that still dwell within her. For they have been sealed, but they are not gone. 

A single spark lights the flame as the realm holds its breath, teetering on the edge of ruin…
