Jorn and the team have located the first part of the Juncture and now the race is on to solve the next four verses of the Riddle Rhyme to find the remaining pieces. But where do they start?
Darric is now ready to invade Earth. Jorn hopes that the Juncture can help him to increase the strength of his own magic to help save Earth, but the precise power and purpose of the enigmatic object remains unclear.
Jorn's dangerous quest will lead him and his team from the desert ruins of Karth to the icy wastes of the far north. Along the way Jorn must confront the shattering reality of his shian heritage, and Mordant must deal with the bitter legacy of her raash parentage and her desire for an unattainable love. But Darric's spies closely follow their every move, and the Mage-Lord intends to ensure that Jorn and his team are eliminated long before their quest can be completed.
