The mass-teleportation in Fittoa places Princess Ariel Anemoi Asura in mortal peril—then drops a powerful new bodyguard into her lap! While Rudeus and Eris journeyed home, a deadly drama was playing out in the halls of power.

Rudeus journeys to the harsh northlands in search of his lost mother. Or at least, that's what he tells himself. The scars of his parting from Eris run deep, and getting back on his feet may not be so easy.

Things seem to be looking up for Rudeus. And when Sara asks him on a date, he decides to forget his heartbreak and start a new romance. But putting the past behind him may be easier said than done.

Rudeus is settling into school life and growing better acquainted with the enigmatic Silent Fitz. But when his efforts to teach Zanoba hit a roadblock, his new friend proposes a drastic solution.

Investigating the mass teleportation leads Rudeus to seek out his most elusive classmate: the brilliant Silent Sevenstar. But when he calls at Silent's laboratory tower, he finds a familiar face that he didn't expect—and doesn't welcome.

Ariel confronts Sylphiette with a choice: reveal herself to Rudeus or cut ties with him forever. Determined on one last push to jog Rudeus's memory, Sylphiette invites him on a forest expedition.
