Alina thought she had escaped the darkness—but the fight is far from over.

Now hunted and on the run, she struggles to stay ahead of powerful forces determined to control her. As her power grows stronger, so too does the weight of responsibility—and the toll it takes on her sense of self.

When new allies emerge and old enemies return, Alina is drawn back into the conflict she tried to leave behind. With each step forward, the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, forcing her to question everything she once believed.

As the stakes rise and the cost of power becomes clearer, Alina must decide what she’s willing to sacrifice—not just for her country, but for the people she loves.
