Talion Rule
Description
As Arden Finch's magical strength grows, so does the number of people who want her under control. With the elementals, the mundanes, and out-of-state elves all making demands, she and Troy must act fast to secure their power.
The first elven summit in decades offers opportunities to do so, but forces Arden to take drastic action. Amidst the turmoil, Troy's past looms, threatening to drive a wedge between them.
Satisfying everyone is already a long shot, but the trickster gods want something too. Pressure grows as they offer Arden riddles and gifts as hints to a forgotten pact-one they want her to honor.
Arden will have to own the roles she's claimed and find bold solutions for a new future or watch everything crash down around her.
