Publisher's Synopsis
As Brent, Aaron and Liam seek to unravel the mystery of the masked stranger's words from Lenora, Renée rises to the ultimate challenge to prove to her mother that she's more than capable of joining the village's raiding forces. Elsewhere, Brent's reputation as Skylok is spreading like wildfire across the empire. His unique appearance - with his golden eyes and startlingly blue hair - lead to rumors that suspect that he's connected to the imperial royal family, the only Arkanians who bear such distinct features. These stories reach the ears of Viceroy Diomedes of Lyrik first. Then the emperor, whose rage suggests that Skylok is not news to him. Rather, he's a ghost from the past - a past that, to this day, haunts Brent's darkest nightmares.
