No heroic loot drops.

The Final Examination for my first year at Krysfelt is coming up! My freshman year has been anything but orthodox: ogres, a draconic bloodline, and a nest of corrupted bureaucrats who'd love to see me fail. I've survived it all thanks to the team at my side—loyal, lethal, and lovelier than I ever thought I deserved. Now we have to prove we belong here in a trial designed to break squads that aren't perfectly in sync. And we're about to add a new piece to the puzzle: Seema, a late-starting lionkin with almost a whole year to make up for.

After years on the run across the multiverse, I'd genuinely hoped the quiet coastal town of Arkley would be the perfect place to settle down. I just wanted somewhere to take it easy on the morning school run, to pile the hot chocolate high with marshmallows, and to enjoy a few high-stakes games of Keepy Uppy with my daughter, Edie.

You see, our new backyard sits right on top of a dimensional tear.
