In the aftermath of the Ordeals, Sophia must hone her awakening power to fight the cold ones. With Alden by her side, they will prepare for a new task, finding a key ingredient for an antidote.
But as the true nature of the cold ones comes to light, questions arise over the gods. Perhaps the Great Hunt cannot be stopped, for the gods are hungry and have a will of their own.
