From nightmares to knighthood, the true war starts now.

Brin has conquered the nightmares that once plagued him, and now his goal is to master the power of his class—illusion.

With a new skill that lets him split his mind and juggle multiple thoughts, his imagination is the only limit. But time is running out.

War looms as four nations unite against the Queendom of Arcaena. The Witch Queen’s undead army threatens to destroy everything in its path. When Brin is summoned by the leader of an order of knights, he’s plunged into a conflict that will shape the fate of the world.

Brin’s glass and illusion magic are getting stronger, but his greatest advantage is a dangerous secret: the allied kingdoms’ strongest warrior, a Paladin, is actually Arcaena’s spy. Will Brin reveal the secret to everyone, or wait for the perfect moment to strike?

One thing is certain: Brin’s trump card may be a secret, but Arcaena has secrets of her own…
