A young woman named Katja embarks on a quest to halt the aggressive Rúonbattai after receiving a mysterious message from her deceased parents. Her journey leads her to Tiernan in a mage city, where a coup renders him comatose. In her search for a cure at a magical hospital, she discovers crucial information that could turn the tide of the war. The urgency intensifies as she races against time to awaken Tiernan and unlock the potential to save her world.

In this third installment of the Call of the Rift series, Kateiko faces a pivotal choice between returning to a life she once craved and remaining with her family to forge a new path. Set in an alternative historical fantasy realm, the narrative explores themes of sacrifice and loyalty as Kateiko navigates the complexities of her identity and responsibilities. The stakes are high as she must decide whether to pursue her own desires or uphold her vow to protect those she loves.

In the gripping continuation of the Call of the Rift series, 18-year-old Kateiko faces an unprecedented winter and the threat of famine. As tensions rise, she must harness her strength and ingenuity to protect her people from the chaotic forces unleashed by the air spirit Suriel, who threatens to tear the world apart. The stakes are higher than ever as Kateiko navigates challenges that test her resolve and leadership.

"Seventeen-year-old Kateiko doesn't want to be Rin anymore -- not if it means sacrificing lives to protect the dead. Her only way out is to join another tribe, a one-way trek through the coastal rainforest. Killing a colonial soldier in the woods isn't part of the plan. Neither is spending the winter with Tiernan, an immigrant who keeps a sword with his carpentry tools. His log cabin leaks and his stories about other worlds raise more questions than they answer. Then the air spirit Suriel, long thought dormant, resurrects a war. For Kateiko, protecting other tribes in her confederacy is atonement. For Tiernan, war is a return to the military life he's desperate to forget. Leaving Tiernan means losing the one man Kateiko trusts. Staying with him means abandoning colonists to a death sentence. In a region tainted by prejudice and on the brink of civil war, she has to decide what's worth dying -- or killing -- for."-- Provided by publisher
