Nym has won his freedom and earned himself a comfortable existence. He has everything he needs to thrive, including personal tutoring in the ways of magic from an actual archmage. But just when he thinks the danger is behind him, a figure from his alter ego’s past finally tracks him down.   Confronted by a force he could never hope to defeat as his new self, Nym must make a choice between running or accepting the return of his old memories. With them comes Niramyn, the being he was, a being he doesn’t want to become again but who might just be his only chance at salvation.   Giving in means gaining the power Nym needs to defend himself against a race of what may as well be gods, but it could also mean the destruction of everything and everyone he’s come to love over the last few years of his new life. And of course, it means facing off against the only ascendant to ever figure out how to kill an immortal, a fight he already lost once.   Nym is desperate to find a way to survive, but what can he do against such an overwhelming foe? And is it really survival if he has to pay the ultimate price?   The third volume of the hit progression-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!
