Stormblade, Volume Two

Kade’s strength has grown. But a new storm builds in the east. The portal surge is over. Kade Noelstra’s build is complete. He’s about to reach D-Rank and take his first steps on the Stormsteel Path, but Phoenix and Kade’s friends still need his help. The fortress guarding the S-Rank Carlsbad Portal has requested more supplies and reinforcements, and Kade’s best friend has to be in the convoy. He needs Kade with him. But to be part of the expedition east, Kade has to hit C-Rank—and he has to do it fast. To do it, Kade must hunt unique Paragon monsters in the portals still opening across Phoenix and use their cores to strengthen his own. As he pushes himself to his limits, Phoenix’s most powerful people get involved, digging into Kade’s secrets—for better, and for worse. And the more Kade pushes, the more strain he puts on his core. Delvers weren’t meant to grow this fast, after all. And to the east, Carlsbad Fortress goes silent as the Paragon of the Hurricane finally launches her assault. The growing storm. The raging typhoon. Kade must rise to the challenge.
