Vol 4: The Power of the Blood, illustrated by Michael Dialynas
Wynd and Yorik have been captured. The rest of the gang has headed to the neutral city of Northport, but how long will the city be able to stay out of things with war breaking out over the known world? The faeries and vampyres are on the cusp of invading the humans, but all Oakley can think about is saving her brother; all Duke Yadriel of can think about is the political machinations of going or not going to Pipetown; and all Ash can think about is the sprytles and wild magic all over Northport with humans somehow co-existing and not turning into monsters themselves. |
