Both are at the mercy of the Prophet Pallas, who wields the god’s powers to subjugate the Six Prophetic Cities. But every day, the god grows stronger, threatening to break free and unleash chaos.
Meanwhile, far away from Pallas Athos, Anton learns to harness his full powers as a Prophet.

With time running out, the group’s tenuous alliance is beset by mounting danger, tumultuous romance, and a secret Anton is hiding: a way to destroy the god at the price of an unbearable sacrifice.
