The only constant is change...
On the surface, the realms coexist more peacefully than they ever have. The Three of Faerie keep the chaotic elements of their courts in check by holding their people on a tight leash. Arik, the young king of Conota, enjoys calm in his land and eagerly anticipates the birth of his first child. And while Toula's quarter-century as the Arcanum's grand magus hasn't always been easy, her tenure has brought stability to the mortal realm's magical factions.
But placid waters can hide nightmares in their depths.
In Faerie, long-brewing resentment against the Three is poised to boil over, and a new power on the ascent threatens old alliances and the tenuous peace. While Toula attempts triage, a movement from within the Arcanum sees a prize within its grasp: the grand magus's chain of office. Meanwhile, the Away Team stumbles across a forgotten artifact from Eadwig's past, a weapon of war with catastrophic potential.
Regimes that rise must one day fall, and this time, magic may not be enough to avert the impending disaster...
