Corruption in Derwin is worse than originally thought as Ian and Jack uncover a human-trafficking ring spreading from Dewin to Jack's land of Archaia. Determined to help uncover the corruption but still serve Cardinal Brixton, Ian continues to play a double agent as he works for the Knights Templar by day and Jack's spy at night. His struggle to maintain his dual identities hits a wall when the Knights Templar invade a hoax charity event that Ian and Jack are undercover at in order to catch the perpetrators. Ian must now decide if he will help the Knights Templar or his new friend who he has begun to develop a deep and powerful connection with.

The second volume in this high-stakes series continues Ian's personal journey of self-discovery while finding his rightful place in a world filled with magic, corruption, and moral dilemmas.
