Kalasi, once their silent captive, wakes with vengeance in her veins and eyes like a woman who’s seen the end of the world. She doesn’t talk much, but she fights like a demoness. And for reasons unknown, she really, really seems to like Jay. Or, judging by the hungry look in her eyes, she might just want to eat him. Meanwhile, Nova has a plan to escape the dungeon once and for all: by transferring her sentience into Raina’s lingering spirit and abandoning the Ice Dungeon forever. There’s just one problem—Jay doesn’t trust her anymore. Not enough to finish the mechanical body she needs to be free.
