It’d been one year since Mick had witnessed the horrifying scene in his employer’s study. It was only a matter of time before any consequences came of it.
When Mick receives a visit from his great-uncle, he brings Mick a gift that somehow has a magic connected to his own power. The gift reignites Mick’s longing to return to Kartha, the country of his birth. Even after learning the reason why he’d been discouraged from going, his desire is not so easily ignored now, since receiving the gift.
While weighing the risk of returning, Mick is approached by his employer—the reputable governor with a more sinister side. He presents Mick with an offer that’s too good to be true. Whether Mick accepts or declines, neither outcome is good for him. But no one turns down a man like Governor Riggs.
With the Governor awaiting an answer, and his uncle’s gift stirring up old questions Mick has sought answers to his whole life, his decision will alter the course of his future forever.
And may bring the destruction of an entire country.
