Sequel to Dawn of the Master Sleepers, which received the Children's Book of the Year Award in 2020

After the bones of the master sleepers were magically stolen from Korhos, the cities are once again threatened by war. The Marble Horde is led by Asa Zufar, who is supported by a mysterious advisor. A blood price has been placed on Vulgarus' head, but the drunken Cellarius and his handful of troops must find the living saint's earthly incarnation before the enemy finds him. Milo is on the trail of a secret, which leads the boy to Seté Vadkan's sozós. While he has every desire to finally get home, a curse may prevent him from doing so forever. Admira is only now getting to know her new strength. Does she listen to her mind or her heart when she has to choose between Maurice and Milan?

The three threads intertwine, the final battle is inevitable, but whose side are the master sleepers on? Who will become a traitor, who will sacrifice themselves for their comrades, and how much is friendship and love worth where dark forces rule the world?
