A DEAD MAN GETS A SECOND LIFE. A LOST CITY OPENS ITS DOORS. SOMETHING ANCIENT WALKS THROUGH. Reginald Betancourt dies an old man in southern France and awakens in a dead swordsman's younger body-deep in a magical forest where the spiders are enormous, the locals want him dead, and adventure has found him again. For a lifelong explorer, it feels less like a nightmare than a second chance. Aiyana Riandell and Nathan find him while following an impossible signal through the restored portal roads. Aiyana believes Icon Hall-the abandoned city of her people-holds the knowledge needed to rebuild a world still scarred by magical apocalypse. Nathan fears the power answering her is changing her faster than either of them admits. Their journey draws the attention of Manalo Maqsher, a warlord building an empire; Tymere, a master alchemist with his own designs; and Rauhen, a horned conqueror whose promises come with chains. Behind them all, an unseen prisoner whispers through the portals, guiding Aiyana toward a door no one should open. To reach Icon Hall, the three must survive assassins, living forests, treacherous alliances, and each other. But the closer Aiyana comes to her people's lost power, the harder it becomes to tell whether she is restoring the roads-or setting something free. Sigils & Satyrs continues the Portals series with dark humor, dangerous magic, found family, and second-chance heroes confronting what happens when power outruns wisdom.
