Magic has returned-but so has the war to control it.
Months after reclaiming the first half of the Bloodstone, Callan and his companions uncover a hidden archive buried deep within the Citadel of Eldrenmor. But their greatest challenge lies ahead: a race to find the missing half of the relic before it falls into enemy hands.
From cursed temples and ancient guardians to spectral ruins and shattered kingdoms, the path leads them far from home-into the heart of Averanth, where enemies stir in shadow and truth is buried in forgotten stone. As rival factions rise and a dark sorcerer seeks to destroy the Bloodstone forever, Callan must master the power growing within him... or be consumed by it.
But magic alone will not win this war.
Only unity, sacrifice, and the truth of Callan's heritage will determine the fate of Eldrenmor-and the future of all magic.
