She's not just his rival; she's everything he isn't. But when a giant from the east kidnaps Blane's twin brother, Jared, their rivalry turns into necessity.
Together, they race across Atronia in search of a hidden scroll-their only hope of saving him. But as danger closes in and time runs out, one thing becomes clear: not every battle ends in victory.
