In the end, you're left facing the cold, harsh reality of what you've done." _____________________________________________________________________________ In the catastrophic aftermath of Ashes of the Throne, our heroes find themselves strangled in a world where the weight of their choices and actions now hold life-altering consequences.

It was the beginning.Because fate doesn't ask permission.Destiny doesn't wait for peace.And if Sera's going down, she'll go down swinging-crystal blade in hand, fire in her lungs, and maybe dragging everyone down with her. Love was never supposed to hurt like this. But neither was survival.…
