Description
The seal weakens. The Arcanus stirs.
Elrith and his companions race to recover the final Element Artifacts, the only hope of sealing the Nexus and halting Soleena's ascent into godlike tyranny. From cursed islands and collapsing sanctuaries to a volcano shrouded in ash and fire, their path is riddled with sacrifice and ancient magic.
Driven by ambition, Soleena will stop at nothing-twisting lives, wielding forbidden magics, and casting aside allies in her search for the Chronosceptre, a relic that could help her finish opening the Nexus. Now, in the climactic conclusion to her long and terrible scheme, her armies converge on Alderhaven and the world teeters on the edge of unraveling. The fate of Atherin rests on one final confrontation.
Allies gather, magic surges, and the cost of failure grows steep. To stop the rise of the Arcanus, they must risk everything ... even the very threads of time.
