Rosey, Alex, and Bronzo stay with the Scorched Mountain Team until the destination of Earth's Well is revealed. During this time, Rosey and Addina finally get to talk, and Rosey asks her to share her memories of Balra so that Rosey might better understand the woman behind the assassin. Addina agrees to do so, even knowing it will reveal her deepest regrets. To their shock, Earth's Well is located on Rosey's home continent of Hondan. The team will have to follow a new plan to get back there. The trip requires stopping at Alex's magikin academy in Greval where a classmate is waiting with unfinished business. Eglen's secret past is suddenly brought to light when the team must next pass through the Shebanok Islands. At Eglaglassen, an unexpected gift brings Rosey closer to her mother and the family that she barely knows. Meanwhile, the Silver Goddess inspects Seatress's cherished ivory sword that she dropped during her battle with Rosey. The encounter with the blade awakens a terrifying curse that Balra secretly placed on it should it fall within enemy hands. This journey forces Rosey and her friends to remember things they've kept secret and to face the possibilities that lie ahead. Rosey's determination is unwavering, but the threat from the Puppeteer and the new-and-improved army he intends to raise could force them back into a second demonic war.
