With the Common Law now broken, the Wall of Charon is now sealed. Noctis are no longer welcomed in Luzaria, and neither are luzarans in the Empire of the night, but plots keep growing on one and another side of the silent stone mass, where secrets are unraveled. Adrien is unable to stop thinking about Tayr, in spite of everything that happened. June knows that revealing him the truth will force her brother to make the thoughest call of his life, but the situation is developing fast and Adrien is willing to do it all to defend his feelings as well as their recipient. The coins that are used to pay the toll to Charon will be essential to move with certain warranties in a world that's shrouded in intrigues and crossed interests; not just because the boatman is out on his ride, but because everyone wants the arkanais; allies and enemies seem to have a common end goal: To break the curse and free the terras of the empire. What could be so bad about that? "There is no worse prison than a tormented mind, or a greater labyrinth than a broken heart."
