A new and deadly power emerges in Busal, and the Blade must protect more than just the Queen. The Queen’s Blade saga continues. Having saved the city and uncovered a secret to its power, Zaren now feels connected in ways he had not before. He’s serving as the Blade, learning to be an advisor to the Queen, and building a school to train others like him. There’s peace in Busal. Peace is fleating. When the school is targeted, and the fabrications imported from Ardem are destroyed, Zaren recognizes a new danger to the realm. Uncertain who’s responsible, he embarks on a journey that will take him throughout the realm, and will force him to find power greater than any Queen’s Blade.
