"Trying gives us purpose. Sometimes trying is the whole point."
The Grays have won.
Despite resistance from Tavi Malin and the rest of the Golds, Konner Burrell and his puppet king now rule Cormina. Knowing their lives are in danger, the fugitive Golds have gone into hiding.
Tavi bides her time, striving to craft the perfect strategy to defeat the Grays. But when Konner's people begin killing innocents, Tavi realizes the battle for her nation's freedom cannot wait.
As gray magic infiltrates the land, the Golds plot to lure Konner into one final confrontation.
But Tavi isn't only fighting to liberate Cormina, she's also struggling with her own future-and how her friend Tullen fits into it.
