The storm is gone. What rises from the ashes is far more dangerous.
Kess destroyed Fulminancy to save Hillcrest—and doomed them all. Without Fulminancy's volatile power, she's defenseless against the Eidolons stalking the city and the brutal winter that refuses to break. Her people are vanishing, her brother stands condemned for murder, and the fragile government she helped forge crumbles beneath the weight of her choices.
Branded a traitor, Kess has one desperate gamble: flee to the sands of Tamresh, where the Autua promises salvation in exchange for Eidolon blood. Tamresh expects the Fulminancer of legend. What they get instead is a powerless exile with only Confluence—a forbidden magic that binds her soul to Rowan's, forcing them to share every spell, every heartbeat, every shattering moment of vulnerability.
Their only guide is Layal, the Autua's cursed daughter—a girl who survived Eidolon possession and destroyed half her city in the process. If anyone understands the cost of power, it's her. But as Layal teaches them to master Confluence as they hunt ancient creatures across the burning sands, one horrifying truth emerges: in Tamresh, predator and prey are not what they seem.
When the greatest betrayal comes from those who promised salvation, and the magic meant to save her people threatens to devour her soul, Kess must choose—become the weapon they need her to be, or watch both kingdoms burn for the lies they've built their power on.
