The compelling and exquisitely crafted saga that commenced in Divine Rivals reaches its grand finale.
Despite the two weeks that have elapsed since Iris Winnow’s return home, marked by bruises and a heart in pieces from the frontlines, the war persists unabated. Roman is nowhere to be found, leaving the city of Oath submerged in disbelief and obliviousness. Iris and Attie seize a second chance to report on Dacre’s movements, braving the dangers as they venture westward once more. Aware that the conflict is inching closer to an unprepared city fracturing under the chancellor’s rule, they plunge into the unknown.
Roman, having lost his memory since awakening in Dacre’s realm, grapples with uncertainty about his past. Encouraged by the promise that his memories will resurface, Roman begins writing articles for Dacre, navigating his place in the broader context of the war. An intriguing turn of events occurs when a peculiar letter arrives through a wardrobe door, initially sparking suspicion and then piquing Roman’s interest. Engaging in a correspondence with a mysterious pen pal, Roman faces a crucial decision: whether to align with Dacre or betray the god who healed him. As the days grow darker, drawing Roman and Iris inexorably closer, the duo embarks on a perilous journey, risking not only their hearts but also their futures to alter the course of the war.
