Overview
With Sami’s life on the line, Jace and his friends race to find a cure for the soul spore. Coming up short again and again, they turn to the last being who might be able to help them: Zurvan, god of infinite time and space.
Yet his price is steep: represent him at an out-of-time tournament against Divine and Ascended cultivators–and not only that, but win. As Sami’s condition worsens and the Polypheme approaches the empire, Jace has no choice but to accept.
To fail in the tournament arena would be to lose his friend and potentially be defeated by the Polypheme. But to win…to win would be to grasp at a chance to send his cultivation to new levels.
