Eira turns to an old ally—not a sage in a tower, but Leona, a rogue who deals in smoke, steel, and fire. In her cluttered workshop, Leona reveals the truth: the black beads are voidstone, and their purpose is tied to the dreaded Voidheart, a relic said to unmake the ley lines themselves. With Tharivor Kesh in pursuit of such power, Eira gains not only an ally, but also a grim certainty: the fight ahead will be unlike any they have faced before.
