The journey to find Theo's teacher has only just begun-and this time, the stakes are higher than ever. After the battle with the Children of the Nightingale, Theo has been trapped in a strange, dreamlike state, suspended between reality and myth. But in this ethereal realm, he's given a cryptic message: to find his missing teacher, he must first follow the fabled Sages Path. The catch? He must seek out a mysterious figure-someone marked by crows, scorned by fate, and shrouded in secrets. As Theo and his friends set off on their quest, they're faced with trials unlike anything they've encountered before. Ancient puzzles, hidden truths, and dark magic await them at every turn. But what they don't know is that they're being watched from the shadows by a secretive group determined to stop them from uncovering the path's true purpose. With danger closing in and the truth slipping further from his grasp, Theo must rely on his friends and his own growing magic to uncover the secrets of the Sages Path before it's too late. In this enchanting sequel, Theo must face the ultimate challenge-and discover who, or what, is pulling the strings from the shadows.
