For the past year, Malja and her companions have traveled the ruined lands of Corlin trying to bring order to the chaos of a world destroyed by magic. But when Owl, a warrior skilled in the Way of the Sword and Gun, enlists their aid in facing a new threat from the North, everything changes.
Now, Malja must face Queen Salia -- a self-made ruler obsessed with taming the wild magical energies pulsing from a place known as the Library. Magical energies that could drive her mad and destroy the world once again.
But magic this powerful can do more than destroy. It could also help Malja unlock a path toward the desires she buries in her heart. Desires that may tear her from those she cares for the most.
