Something terrible has happened-and it's all their fault.

Reeling from a devastating battle that nearly cost Kire his life, the Unlikely Defenders are left shell-shocked after someone is sacrificed to save them. With cracks appearing in their friendship, their magic is weaker than ever-and their next fight could lead them all to ruin.

Trace is furious that Amberly tried to play hero and throw away her own life. Grappling with their shaky relationship and unable to confront his inner pain, fighting was the only way he could channel his anger for good-but as his flaming sword grows dim, now even that is failing him.

Kire is determined to pull the team together. But there'll be no time to grieve, because Yash's infamous right-hand man is hot on their trail. Unless Trace can master the fire within, he'll never be strong enough to protect his friends. Can he overcome his inner demons and repair his fractured friendships? Or will he let his anger spiral out of control and doom them all?
