Clash of Leaves and Shadow

The rebellion's future is in jeopardy.

A long-lost magic returns.

Will Nerahdis finally be free of Rhydin?

After a huge victory against Emperor Rhydin and his forces in the capture of Lunaka Castle, a hard winter soon threatens the survival of the rebellion. Fault lines appear everywhere, and despite Lina and her fellow leaders' best efforts, the rebellion may turn against itself before they even have a chance at Emperor Rhydin when spring comes. When an unforeseeable solution presents itself, Lina has no choice but to put her own heart aside and become something else for the sake of the cause to which she's dedicated her life, even as she battles the demons of her past. Meanwhile, Rayna, desperate to aid the true Rhydin Caldwell trapped in the Archimage Palace, experiences more visions of her ancestor, Nora Soreta, and the mystery of Amelia Eason's background grows. True identities are revealed, centuries-old faades are shattered, and history comes full circle as the rebellion's final battle against the evil Rhydin and his dark forces looms, deciding the fate of Nerahdis once and for all.
