You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.

Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man.

Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin.

Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.

Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world―the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants.

And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.

Nearly as good as the first book

Content warning Story spoilers

Calling it a sequel is in some ways wrong as we follow a different cast of characters on their journey of what happened at their location during the first book. They narate the story to Khirin and the intreludes of what happening in real time are really interesting as well are the footnotes of the in universe author of the book. The realtime parts of the book however happens after the first so it's not wrong calling it a sequel. I'm looking forward to figure out where the story is headed next and if there will be as many new characters introduced again. I'm leaning towards no, but I won't be surprised if the opposite is true.
