The war for freedom isn't just external. It's personal.

Sion Zona thought Nordica was the land of the free. Turns out, it's just another empire playing the same old game.

After barely surviving Tamuria, Sion hoped Nordica would be different—a place where elementals could live without fear. But now he's watching the so-called "free world" turn into another authoritarian state, and he's done being anyone's pawn.

As Nordica gears up for all-out war, Sion and Valkyrie go AWOL on a rescue mission that could splinter the Chosen Nine for good. Meanwhile, Tamuria's unleashing a new kind of terror: mutant soldiers powered by stolen DNA—and Sion's next on their list.

To stop a war that threatens every elemental across five worlds, Sion must break ranks, stay alive, and face betrayal from every side—including his own.
