A life of purpose, a life of use. It's a blissful state of certainty. But even that magic can't last forever. In Seoul, the never-sleeping metropolis of blinding lights, a figurine awaits the sorceress's calling. It is an other-self figurine, meaning, it exists for a single purpose: to become the sorceress herself when she wants it so. But one night, the figurine finds itself stuck in its mundane shape.

If it was difficult for a small team of outlaws—or, as Amaranthe has decided they should now be called, rebels—to make a difference before, it's a monumental task now. If she's to return idealistic young Sespian to the throne, earn the exoneration she's sought for so long, and help her closest ally win the respect of the son who detests him, she'll have to employ an unprecedented new scheme... preferably without destroying the city—or herself—in the process.
