Unbound
Book 8 Recap· Released
TL;DR
Three months after the High Guard, Felix is on the brink of Master Tier and his Stronghold is a thriving city, but he cares only about Pit, whose curse has cost the Companion his wings and left wounds that will not heal. Only the threat of the Corrupted Unbound Imara, hunting the Ashen Gnome for the Hierophant, drags him away.
