As the dust settles on the desolation left by the ancient queen and her undead army, Thaniel yearns to return home with one of the Dhulruk, his dearest companion, Reima.
Yet the fate of a Wayfinder is not so simple.
When Reima learns her northern mountain home is at the mercy of waning magic, she and Thaniel must embark on a treacherous journey through frigid mountains and unnamed danger. When they arrive at the Silver City, a marvel of Dhulruk engineering hidden beneath an icy lake, Thaniel finds more questions than answers. Not only are the magical systems falling into disrepair, but most of its inhabitants are locked in an unsettling slumber. Those who should be stewards of the city are driven apart by conflicting philosophies and stubborn traditions, their inaction pushing the city to the edge of disaster. Between troublesome creatures of ice, a cunning Conservator, and a mysterious band of champions from a bygone era, Thaniel and Reima discover there is much more at play than simply the failing magic of a Dhulruk city in decline.
With companions both new and familiar, Thaniel and Reima must mend what's broken in order to safeguard the sleeping citizens and restore hope amidst the chaos of impending battle. But with powerful enemies closing in, it seems even Fate is against them. Will this spell the end for the Silver City, or will Thaniel find a way to save Reima's home before tragedy strikes?
