New Perth’s deadliest Initial Hand is currently a sorceress.

With magical capabilities to complement her formidable sword abilities, Riley Trident heads to Sidnie using the fates of her best friend and an entire kingdom in her hands.

The practice of magic thrives in Sidnie, but Hemmons’ capabilities are far beyond those of even its most accomplished citizens. He shuts down their colleges and starts his own, teaching warrior mages in round the clock shifts to accomplish his ultimate objective: Sacking New Perth and conquering the nation.

Sensing the proximity of Riley’s magic, Hemmons actions up his efforts to find her. If the rising body count won’t crush any hopes of a level of resistance and lure her out of the shadows, then perhaps Mason’s agonizing death will.

Will Riley’s enhanced powers golf swing the fight against Hemmons, or will he, at long last, acquire the crown jewel he’s very long desired and rule the continent?
