The key to victory lies in a code no one can crack.

Retreating to the Nylm Hills mountains, Khaly's group gathers its strength while Jahallah and Bancroft's attempts to unlock the notebook and crack the journals' codes lead to even more frustrating puzzles.

A messenger arrives at their sanctuary with news that Tysa has fled to Aelborne where nightmarish creatures have also been sighted. Khaly knows the two are linked.

With the unexpected help of their new acquaintance, will Bancroft and Jahallah finally crack the cyphers of the journals? And who will stop Tysa's monstrous creations?

The task, Khaly knows, belongs to the Resistance; she and her friends have no choice but to begin a long journey—their aim: to locate and confront the horrors that plague the continent of Aelborne, and bring Tysa down once and for all.
