It is a key — to something buried for a hundred years, for very good reason.As Kael assembles the five across Ferrath's most dangerous territories — from the Deepwood's shadow patrols to the sunplains of Goldenthroat to the deep libraries beneath Greydelve — the real question emerges: what did his mother truly start? And what will finishing it cost?Five marks. One fire. No turning back.The Pyremark Sagas continues — darker, deeper, and more dangerous than ever.Book Two of Three.
