The Grays—they're monsters. I don't know if we can stop them. But we have to try.

Monsters can't be left alone.

Nearly a year has passed since Tavi Malin split the earth and healed it, escaping from the Grays. She's settled back into small-town life.

But the Grays have been quietly growing stronger, and when they attack someone close to Tavi, grief threatens to destroy her.

Tavi and the Golds resume their battle against gray magic. The Grays, however, are still pursuing Tavi—and that means anyone with her is in danger. She's determined to protect her friends by fighting alone.

Battered by sorrow and fear, Tavi grows reckless, risking her friendships and her life.

As the Grays produce weapons and plot to crown one of their own as king, Tavi considers what was once unthinkable: she may need to embrace gray magic in order to defeat it.
