The hunt closes in as Melcrose stands face-to-face with the being who tore her family apart — Emperor Temeluchus himself.
Stripped of her CIPHER companion LUMINA — sacrificed to protect her younger brother Kaelen — and armed with nothing but her father's sword, Melcrose finds herself cornered on a cliff's edge with nowhere left to run. But as Temeluchus reveals the truth about what's been hidden inside her since birth, an ancient power awakens behind her eyes.
The relic he's spent a lifetime searching for has a name. And it's been alive inside her all along...
A brutal, emotional second chapter that reveals the death of a family member, the loss of Lumina, and the first awakening of Pink Adallium — setting the stage for the war to come.
