The true test has started now that the apprenticeship is complete.
People get nervous when news gets out that Yelena is a Soulfinder, with the power to both capture and liberate souls. Yelena is already unique due to her history and her powers. While the Council deliberates on Yelena's future, she gets a troubling message: a deadly sorcerer, whom she has already vanquished, is spearheading a plan against her country.
Yelena's journey for honor pushes her to the edge of her abilities, and her desire to be with her true love keeps her moving forward. Along the way, she encounters dubious friends, rivals, lovers, and would-be assassins. Yelena will only have one opportunity to live up to her expectations and save the place she loves.
