The char voki's cunningly lethal discretion cleaves division inside the group of students, as well as within the village of protectors. It is only a matter of time until the fantastic evil that was awakened begins to intensify its horror.

As betrayal threatens to undermine the village's sacred duty, the mark that is burned onto Karen's neck is discovered in an ancient text, leading Sanasar to believe that she may be able to use her unique abilities to their advantage.
