But Kylar’s bestand maybe onlyfriend, the High King Logan Gyre, needs him. To protect a fragile peace, Logans new kingdom, and the kings twin sons, he needs Kylar to secure a powerful magical artifact that was unearthed during the war.

With rumors that a ka’kari may be found, adversaries both old and new are on the hunt. And if Kylar has learned anything, its that ancient magics are better left in the hands of those he can trust.
