Held captive by Kolis — the false Primal of Life and self-styled King of the Gods — Sera must convince him she is the reincarnation of his lost love, Sotoria, while Nyktos fights to free her before a prophesied Ascension that could destroy the realms. Navigating Kolis's unstable court means enduring manipulation, coercion, and escalating danger with no allies and no guarantee of survival. The fate of every realm hangs on whether Sera can outwit a god before time runs out.
