CURSES AND BLESSINGS, HOPE AND DESPAIR

At long last, the time has come for a showdown with Origin. But as Flum’s party heads out to meet their foe, they must first fight their way past Gadhio and the hero Cyrill, both of whom are being controlled by Origin. Flum’s lost a lot of people on her way here, and might be about to lose even more. She’s going to have to hold tight to her love for Milkit, and her rage at Origin, if she hopes to push past her limits and save humanity one last time. An end is coming—but will it be happy? Or must she pay the ultimate price?
