Cymin's final tournament representing the East Deity for Lux Temple promises to be thrilling and bittersweet. After it's done, all his skill and power must feed a Storm Tower to protect the world from fei'lux storms. But before his conscription, he intends to put on a dazzling show and enjoy his last glorious outing.



The streets are thronged with cheering crowds, and the grand procession shimmers with spells. Film stars and government ministers claim the best seats in the stands. And most exciting of all, the legendary Wraiths of Saigrath promise to attend this Spring Exhibition after centuries of absence from the world.



Cymin can't wait to meet them.



But when disaster strikes the celebrations, Cymin risks his own life and destroys a priceless artifact to prevent a massacre. His action not only plunge him into the battle between foreign provocateurs and his own nation's spies, but captures the attention of the mythical Wraiths—one of whom has been searching for him in secret for hundreds of years.
