A deadly race for an ancient secret! In his quest to master the Gift, Raine stumbles upon evidence of a lost mine hidden deep beneath the mountain of Zatfu, a mine overflowing with enough Dae stones to make Gamon the most powerful force on the continent, as well as ancient Lodi secrets Raine is eager to learn. But others have learned of the existence of the mine. The Republic, after regrouping to the south, has caught wind of Zatfu's potential and will stop at nothing to take control of the Dae stones. Both forces are surprised by strangers from a distant land, visitors from the pages of history wielding strange alchemical powers and a violent thirst for the mountain's secrets. Meanwhile, a specter from Amelia's past has trapped her and Marshal in a web of deceit that will upset the balance of power across the continent. The race is on for Zatfu mountain, and the fate of Telarine hangs in the balance!
