The Soul Sword

Grappling with grief as a battle looms in the Northeast, Azlyn Huziku puts herself in charge of assembling the four tribes against Newsity. But as her dreams become infiltrated by her fallen, she knows her task will never succeed unless she can also claim her destined dark stone sword.
