Magic unlike anything Zaren has faced threatens the city. The Queen's Blade saga continues.
With the queen's new training compound nearing completion, Zaren Joha, the Queen's Blade, should be focused on preparing the next generation of Blades. But a strange power is rippling through Busal City, one that even Zaren cannot fully understand.
As stories of dangerous magical creatures spread, Zaren is pulled from his newfound political duties to find answers. The Investigators are at a loss, and the constables have no answer, leaving Zaren and the Blades to search.
What he uncovers only raises more questions, but when a Guild presence comes to the city, he suspects he's out of time.
As ancient powers and old enemies threaten the city's future, Zaren must uncover the truth. But this time, the Queen's Blade might be unable to save the city from destruction.
