Harding faces the weight of returning home after years away, while Selene walks beside her through snow-choked woods, uncovering fears neither of them can ignore. Quiet moments of trust and guarded truths shape the path ahead, even as unseen forces tighten their grip. Elsewhere, the power of the Lost Tomes shifts in unexpected ways. A resonance between artifacts sparks new questions about the imprisoned gods and the fragile balance the party has begun to disturb. What should have been a pause becomes another turning point, as alliances, secrets, and destiny all begin to pull the Nildorin toward whatever waits beyond the safety of Nord’s Helm.
