But the Crucible won’t wait and soon she and her merry band of misfits are caught up in a life and death struggle with an arachnid queen who wields a deadly kind of magic.
Petra herself can no longer rely on the etheric magic she’s depended on throughout her career as an assassin, and rumors of betrayal have her wondering which of those closest to her will slide the knife into her back.
Focus on what’s right ahead of you! That’s the key.
Of course, in a world dominated by demon gods, Abyssal magic, and a growing list of powerful enemies, it’s difficult to know which way is ahead anymore.
