I · The Main Plot
Where We Start
Ilea is on the road south, still haunted by her encounter with the Taleen Praetorians, intending to join the Shadow's Hand mercenary order (official blurb).
Major Plot Points & Spoilers
- Ilea reaches the Shadow's Hand and fights alongside its members. She hopes to find kindred spirits who share her love of battle and near-death experiences.
- She looks for a team to rely on and to spar with. The blurb says every friendly-yet-bloody sparring match levels her resistances.
- The guild of high-level warriors is her place to grow and recover after the earlier volume's non-stop attacks, dungeons, necromancers and Taleen machines.
- Fresh dangers stir across Elos, and the blurb teases that 'there's always another Drake'. The Book 3 blurb refers to 'the aftermath of the demon invasion', so a demon invasion occurs at or near the end of this volume.
Where the Book Leaves Off
Per the Book 3 blurb, the volume ends with the demon invasion behind it and Ilea about to head to Riverwatch. The exact final scene and the outcome of the invasion are not verified.
