PICK YOUR PATH.
[Author note: Dear reader, please note that there are two alternative paths to book 4. This one, and A Tale of Something Borrowed: The Path of Resistance. If you are planning on reading both paths, I recommend starting with the other one, The Path of Resistance, which is written from the antagonist's POV. However, either one will lead to book 4, and you won't be missing any key information to follow the story either way. The last 5 chapters are overlapping.]
The Third Path
Eldric's worst fears have come true. Having failed to protect Annie and Liliana from his enemies, he's left to deal with the aftermath of what happened in the Crimson Plains, a scared little daughter to raise and a web of complicated relationships to untangle.
He must now stop the former war general Sartiria from hunting down and killing the only human who might possess the power to return what he has lost. The fact that said general wears his beloved's face and carries her scent only makes matters worse.
