NIKKEAH TARANIS is a caster on the run.
Two months following the Invocation, Nikkeah lies caught between the waking world and the Echoes, trying to find his footing in the ashes of his former life. Armed with unstable magic and ruthless determination, he searches tirelessly for any advantage he can use against Serai, the ambitious grandmaster of the Dread Coven, whose growing power threatens to upend the lives of innocent casters across the city.
As he navigates his strange, new existence, however, Nikkeah is approached by yet another grandmaster: one who promises an alliance in exchange for help finding a missing Dreamer. Locating the Dreamer may give Nikkeah the resources he needs to exact revenge upon the Dread Coven-but only if he chooses his allies wisely.
He's not the only person with the power to walk among the Echoes, after all...
