As Io's quest reaches its deadly and dramatic conclusion, things are not
all as they seem in the sorceress' game for the right to rule. Still

remain in the battle for the throne, and which of the chosen will be
lost along the way?

conclusion in this newly branded volume, packed to the rafters with his
beautiful artwork and gripping storytelling.
