A new and formidable figure enters the fray. Monios, an ancient warrior of the Udaico whose life has been sustained for two millennia by his obsidian blade, returns to the ruins of Caer Uahm. Driven by a blood contract and a centuries-old score against a cult leader known as the Axe, Monios finds his path crossing with Kaelan’s.

As Kaelan seeks to reclaim her Black Locust bow and her identity from the shadows of the manor house, she must decide if she can trust this ageless stranger. Together, they prepare to face alert, grey-skinned soldiers and the perverted power of the Star-Iron in a desperate bid for reclamation and revenge.

"I am not livestock." After a brutal ambush, Kaelan awakens in the suffocating darkness of a stone pit, bound in iron and stripped of her Palantinian rank. In this hollow of the Axen Wyrm, she is confronted by a weak-voiced captor who claims her imprisonment is merely a test for a new initiate. But Kaelan is no stranger to being traded like property. Drawing on the "righteous fury" of a past defined by betrayal, she must use her "studious eye" to craft an escape from nothing but bone, bronze, and blood. The pit was designed to break her identity; instead, it becomes the forge where a survivor is reborn.
