The Shadow Mask

Every known rank of magic has been claimed. Every aspect, mastered. And this means the real journey is just beginning. Ahead lie new worlds—but first, an old enemy lurking in the shadows needs to be dealt with, and the phantoms that must be destroyed once and for all. Between starting a new year at the academy, stealing an island, earning a noble title, discovering a genuine golem, breaking two supposedly unbreakable oaths, shaking up the Great Desert, recruiting an alchemist, buying a shop, and taking care of a few more minor things, the schedule gets real tight. But such is the everyday life of a master artificer. And, of course, an artifact must be forged as well—one that awakens a new power. So, onward and forward—toward the next adventure!
