A burned-out former mage. A messy, fractious support group. An eager, fresh-faced heroine in the making. Fourteen realms. And no clue.

Niamma once traveled with a legendary Chosen One from another world, fought monsters, and saved her realm . . . but now she's stuck as a counselor for other former heroes' comrades whose adventures, like hers, are done. A new hero's arrival offers an opportunity for all of them to go on one last quest, but what at first seems like a simple undertaking quickly becomes anything but.

Traversing wildly divergent realms, facing shadows of the past and new challenges, and trying to keep from biting each other's heads off, Niamma and her party are in for the adventure of a lifetime, all over again.
