The truth has been revealed. Now comes the hardest part: living with it.
After years of war, betrayal, and impossible sacrifices, Gatekeeper Jora Lanseri finally stands on the threshold of the peace she has spent her life pursuing. Ancient enemies are ready to negotiate. Forgotten truths have come to light. For the first time in generations, the future seems unwritten.
But peace is as fragile as it is precious.
Old hatreds refuse to die. Powerful factions still profit from conflict. And the ancient forces awakened during Jora's quest continue to reshape the world in ways no one fully understands.
Burdened by the immense power she carries-and by the darkness that still whispers within her-Jora must unite former enemies before fear, vengeance, and ambition plunge the kingdoms back into chaos.
Some wars are won on the battlefield.
Others are won in the hearts of those willing to forgive.
The fate of Aerta will depend on which battle Jora chooses to fight.
