Wan struggles with his PTSD from Oddrisc taking over his body. After torching a barracks and a temple in his sleep, he leaves for the Hi'umajra Plateau. It is a valley tucked away between two mountain ranges that is devoid of all magical qi.
Wan hopes that this lack of qi will make Oddrisc and the nightmares go away.While there, he comes across three refugees fleeing violence in Yaosai Jin. The locals become hostile to the refugees and attempt to lynch the trio. Wan steps in to stop them and becomes a wanted man in the process.
Can Wan escape the valley with the refugees? Can he escape Oddrisc and find inner peace?
