As a planeswalker investigates an alarming mystery built into the very foundations of Ravnica, he realizes some secrets are better left hidden Jace Beleren has the power to travel between planes of the Multiverse, but with this gift comes isolation. He is one in a million. He is a planeswalker. And he is on the edge of a mystery that could alter the face of his adopted home—a vast, world-wide city known as Ravnica—forever. Faced with a magical code that is built into the very foundations of the city-world itself, Jace marches into the numinous depths of Ravnica’s underbelly in search of the promise of powerful magic. What he finds is perhaps more burden than boon. Once buried in past, the code resurfaces as Ravnica’s power-hungry mage guilds—unbound by the Guildpact that had once maintained order—struggle for control of the plane. But in the drive for primacy, there is no neutral ground. Jace knows that he can’t crack the code on his own, not while the guilds task teams of mages to unravel the mysteries. But he also knows that the danger of the quest is too great to include his friends. As the mystery begins to unravel, the choice may not be his alone.

Juniper leads the druids into her former home, the now abandoned Rusdasin to battle against Nexon and his armies of mages. As Juniper struggles with who she is supposed to be and is haunted by ghosts of a home she never knew, secrets lie deep in the battle-worn and forgotten Castle Balendine. Ison has infiltrated Nexon's forces, but he must tread carefully. If he succeeds, he just might turn the ride of battle. If not, the beasts he once helped create will surely rip him into pieces. Prince Adrian has watched his home burn, his friends separate, his enemies rise. Not a warrior like his father or his friends, Adrian must navigate and bolster the force of criminals, mages, and knights in order to retake his castle and be the prince his people need. Reid has fought against magic his entire life, but a sudden influx of power leaves him confused and uncertain. Grappling with this new power, Reid must rely on an unlikely ally in order to overcome the odds. Friends reunite and enemies collide in one final battle that will determine the future of the realm.

A reluctant mage, a shapeshifting rogue, and the cruel lord they must thwart… In Maijev, the practice of magic—and slavery—is forbidden. But after Livena’s wind magic is exposed and she gets saddled with a truth curse, she flees from home with an ex mage hunter as her guide. His plan for her is simple—she’ll swallow her distaste for the new region’s magical gods, he’ll get her to a temple where she can get the curse removed, and together they’ll figure out how to control her magic so she can return home. But the coastal city where they arrive is a nightmare. Magic runs rampant and its citizens have no concept of equality among fellow mortals. When Livena spots a cruel lord taunting children with slave collars, her untamed magic sends him flying across the busy street. Unfortunately, he recognizes her guide in the aftermath, and they have a less-than-cordial history. After her guide goes missing, it’s clear he needs rescue. But trying to navigate the magic-infested city? Livena can’t save him alone. Reluctantly, she enlists the help of a shapeshifting rogue. The rogue’s plan involves a lot more magic, trickery, and trouble, than Livena wants. But if the rogue can help Livena wield her wind magic without telling her guide’s enemies more than they need to know, Livena might not only rescue her guide, she might overcome the city’s apathetic streets.
