Flavius is still alone.

Lost inside a frozen ruin, he stumbles onto a secret ceremony surrounding something ancient—something buried deep inside the glacier that was never meant to wake.

Then it sees him.

And it speaks.

Meanwhile, Mac and L.S. are still trying to piece together what remains after the destruction of Damon’s Retreat when Flavius’ mysterious shield begins behaving strangely. Chains stretch into the trees. A familiar eye appears where it shouldn’t.

And then, for the first time...

Gentle speaks.

The party may be scattered, but something is connecting them—and whatever is reaching across that distance seems to know exactly who they are.

What are these voices trying to tell them? And what happens when something that has been silent for centuries finally answers?
