Kota Ryn wants only one thing: to return home. As the Drak Clan’s new chief, she has decided to lead her people back to where the threat of an enemy with powerful magic still awaits.

But for Shaya Navi, something else waits in the North: answers. Since before her Crossing, she has felt the mountains calling, but she never understood why. Now she hopes that learning more about Tammae Lakki, her supposed past life, will bring her closer to understanding what she’s meant for in this one.

Makai Farin made a promise: to follow Shaya to the ends of the earth. He intends to keep it, but—stalked by a phantom cougar with unknown intentions—he finds himself keeping secrets as well.

Their destinies intertwined, the three brave the fury of the Northern mountains, working together to save the land from a tyrant and unravel the truth about their past lives.
