PICK YOUR PATH.

[Author note: Dear reader, in case you weren't aware, there are two alternative paths to book 4. This one, and A Tale of Something Borrowed: The Third Path. If you are planning on reading both paths, I recommend starting with this one here. However, either one will lead to book 4, and you won't be missing any key information to follow the story either way. The last 5 chapters are overlapping.]

The Path of Resistance

After centuries of slumber, Sartiria awakens to find a world gone soft, where despite everything that was sacrificed during the war, vampires reign in the shadows rather than rule in open dominion. Granting humans too much freedom is nothing short of dangerous. So she will rise to the top to crush the Light magic and its followers for good.

This would be a lot easier if it weren’t for the meddling of the powerful but foolish elite, especially one infuriating Lord Eldric of Finsterwald. He seems to have entertained a grotesque relationship with the human, whose body Sartiria now inhabits — one she fully intends to exploit.
