She saved the kingdom once. She didn't expect there to be a repeat performance.
At sixteen, Ari fell into a portal and found herself in Callaria, a magical alternate world in need of a hero. So she did the coming-of-age quest. She saved the kingdom and kissed the farmboy turned King. And when she was done... she went home.
She never forgot about her time in Callaria.
It never forgot her either, and now thirteen years later, she’s back.
Drafted into the role of Champion once more, Ari discovers that magic doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Her actions a decade ago caused ripples that didn’t go away when she did. The gawky apprentice wizard she once called a friend is now a cynical Royal Wizard with a penchant for floor length velvet robes and dangerous secrets. Her magic sword is giving her the silent treatment. The evil ruler she thought she defeated is living in the dungeon, making cryptic predictions that sound a little too much like fact. The farmboy turned King has fallen under a deadly curse that only Ari can break.
And Ari? She’s starting to think her biggest mistake was ending the fantasy in the first place.
