How it works

Werbaneth fills in the main characters' backstories, making this volume work well as a stand-alone read.
Meanwhile, the Jenseiters march slowly on, insidiously overpowering nations in an echo of the havoc they wreaked before being sealed away 400 years ago.
This second entry offers more glimpses into a politically charged landscape populated by power-hungry people, weaving the leads' storylines together into an intricate arc that contains many plot twists.
Magical creatures such as the bear cavalry and sand kraken add to the action.

Details worth keeping

A somewhat abrupt, open-ended finale leaves room for a sequel.
