Compelled Dual

Our heroes have boots on the ground on Loex Tolgalen, the stakes are rising ever higher, and Adhana Valcyne is alive. Leo tries to grapple with his mother's return. Phi and Adhana come to an understanding. Everyone else is in for one hell of a wake-up call. As the Valcynes grapple with heredity and history, they discover the sinister truths that make their homes on the Isle of the Dead - some of which hold sway over stories and families far removed from the Valcyne Dynasty.

As it turns out, Defiance was the least of our problems. With the Pirate Queen of Astraria gone for good, our heroes turn to the next challenge before them - the island of Loex Tolgalen, a place that holds terrible truths and even more terrible implications. Phirora struggles to accept her new role. Leoril tries to patch up wounded relationships. In a last-ditch effort to overthrow the corrupt Astrarian regime, the Valcynes, using some unorthodox plans, set out to discover Loex Tolgalen's secrets - and find far more than what they were looking for.

After being rescued from their doomed trial and processing a lot of information, the Valcynes are back, baby, and arguably worse than ever. The situation in Voldhur grows even more dangerous. Phirora sets a boundary. Leoril tries to get the gang back together. Stranded in the middle of a city out for their blood with no plan, no backup, and no arcane focuses, the Valcynes get creative in a last-ditch effort to get out of Voldhur alive. There's a heist, there are ghosts, Leo gets a cool wizard hat, an old acquaintance returns, and everything that can go wrong, does.

40,000 years after our last installment, Kimryl and Kiva deal with the consequences of their actions. The Illiri Project has gotten out of hand, a plague is threatening the existence of entire societies, and the twin gods have lofty plans to restore their former glory, but they'll need help if they have any hope of succeeding. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on who you ask), that help is available on the far-flung island of Loex Tolgalen in the form of two young siblings named Elandor and Dorella Valcyne. Things rarely go as planned, however, and sometimes having a choice means having consequences - consequences like the birth of Astraria, and the death of so much more.

Roughly 50,000 years before our story begins, two young death gods attempt to navigate the corporate jungle of the celestial plane. Kiva grapples with the weight of their duties. Kimryl laments not having a choice. A potential big business deal calls into question everything that the gods of the Solean pantheons have ever known. The mortal realm is changing, and familial expectations and hidden ambitions threaten to change the course of the twins' existence(s) forever.

In the aftermath of the Astrarian Embassy explosion, our heroes scramble for answers and a next step. Kalessa turns up the heat on the situation. Leoril contemplates taking the fall. Phirora considers the cost of the truth. The sun rises on a city rocked by tragedy, and the blame seems fixed on Phi and Leo. The Valcynes are staring down the end of everything they've fought for, and there's only one thing that can save them - having a little faith.

Sometimes, ambition can be a curse, and no one needs to learn this lesson more thoroughly than our heroes. Leoril's grand political plans blow up in everyone's faces. Phirora senses an incoming storm. Kalessa is the bearer of both bad news and potential advantages. As their allies grow fewer in number and their enemies grow greater in desperation, the Valcynes must take a political situation stacked against them and make something useful of it - or else fall victim to the plans that their adversaries have had for them all along.

After Leo's Big Day, you'd think our heroes would get a well-earned break - and you'd think wrong. The political situation in Voldhur is just getting warmed up, and the Valcynes find themselves once again in the middle of it all. Is anyone surprised at this point? Tomás Highvale does the wrong thing for the right reasons. Maximus Greyriver shows his true colors. Phirora faces a moral dilemma. Leoril politically maneuvers like his life depends on it (because it kind of does). With the fate of nations hanging in the balance, Leo and Phi are forced to face the ugly truth about their parts to play - and forced to question how much they really want them.
