Siobhan can no longer ignore the warning signs. War is brewing and no one knows how to stop or counter it, such knowledge lost to the age of kings. Their one hope lies in Saoleord, the hidden city of scholars–Fei's homeland.

Siobhan may as well have taken her guild to the city of gold. Siobhan might be stuck in meetings, but for once her crew of misfits are too fascinated to stir up trouble.

The guild spends their days cramming every possible bit of knowledge into their heads, hoping it will be enough to turn the tide when they get home. In addition, Saoleord has promised to send advisors, ending their vow of seclusion.

Saoleoran envoys in tow, Deepwoods hastens back home to share their newfound knowledge with the other guilds, but discover one major problem...

The war is already here.
