Or is justice more urgent? Newly released from imprisonment, Nada of Lower Earth has found her own calling: disrupting the royal wedding. Convinced her cousin Lein's alliance with Upper Earth will launch an invasive, terrifying form of tyranny, Nada sets out undercover to light the spark of revolution. When Raisa goes missing a week before the wedding, all eyes turn to the rebels, including Nayf, Nada's twin brother, a fugitive on the run.

"After his victory on Jeju Island, the top guilds are all clamoring to recruit Jinwoo Sung, the strongest S-rank hunter and the hero of Korea--a far cry from the hapless E-rank hunter he used to be. As exciting as each new development is, however, Jinwoo's eager to finally get some answers, so an invitation from the system to return to the double dungeon that changed his life is a welcome opportunity.

Along the way, Juniper and Hadley stumble across a mystery too compelling to ignore: Something has been coming out of the woods at night and eating the local farmers' crops, leaving only a trail of glowy goo behind. Tempted by an adventure that could fuel their bardic craft, Hadley tows Juniper into the woods to investigate.
