I · The Main Plot

Where the Book Leaves Off
Not verified: our sources are publisher/retailer blurbs only, with no chapter-level summary. The Book 2 blurb shows Griffon and Sol being sent on a quest in Olympia, so the story continues there; whether these are the same pair under other names or spellings is not confirmed by our sources.
