Synopsis
Date of release: 1st of September 2025 The curse is broken. The veil has thinned. And now, the gods return, some wearing familiar faces, others cloaked in shadow and ruin. Not all have come to save. Some have come only to watch the world fall. The witches have begun their revenge by taking the city of Spark. But they will not stop there. They intend to storm the capital, then the world. Fueled by blood and a century of betrayal, they march beneath a banner of ash and fire, determined to burn the kingdoms to their knees. Wren Wynter runs from prophecy and towards it, warning those who will listen that the end is closer than they know. But fate has a cruel way of twisting the paths of even its most faithful messengers. Alina Acheron journeys deep into the heart of the desert, where war is not waged with armies but with memory, flame, and will. There, she will learn what it means to rise. Not as a princess, but as a weapon. Mal Blackburn walks the line between life and death, love and betrayal, desperately searching for the truth buried in her husband's lies. But in the land of the dead, truth is a dangerous thing, and not everything that dies stays buried. As kingdoms crumble and old powers awaken, Kage must survive a grief that wants to consume him whole. And Kai, Kai must learn that monsters do not always wear the faces he expects, and that sometimes, purple eyes are just that… eyes. The hands that weave fate are moving once more. And this time, not even the gods are safe.
