"Charris, Trinh, and Ursa have managed to work together long enough to defeat the evil Priestess and her hive-mind robot army, the Surrogate. However, a secret from Ursa's past threatens to break the fragile trust between the three mages, but they must overcome their differences and work together if they stand any chance of surviving the coming darkness. "

"Our intrepid heroes-mages Trinh, Charris, and Ursa-have made great strides in learning to work together as a team. But the darkness is coming, and a foe from their past has grown more formidable. Will their combined talents be enough to defeat the ever expanding Surrogate army? An army that has swallowed up so many mages more powerful than they are?"

"Ursa is reunited with her mother at last-but her mom is the Priestess, leading a massive Surrogate army that threatens to swallow Plumstead and then the world! She's got Charris and Trinh by her side, and a militia of mages and townsfolk at her back, but will that be enough?"
