The Chosen One did her duty. The Demon King slain, a prophecy fulfilled. Now, all she wants is peace. At twenty-six years old, Elysia finally returns to her hometown of Peace after more than a decade of training and ultimately defeating the Demon King, who was foretold to threaten all. The costs of accomplishing such a feat weigh on her and everything she learned on her quest has changed her. She left Peace as a child who couldn’t wait to explore the world outside her small town. Now, she wants to live her life on her terms. During Elysia’s absence, her childhood friend Cassius lost both his parents and his wife. A blacksmith with nothing to lose, he was ready to leave Peace and see what the world had to offer. But with his best friend's return, Cassius's biggest regret may now be resolved if he has the courage to take a chance. As the two old friends make up for lost time in a kingdom where magic was thought gone for a millennium, Cassius's insatiable curiosity could be satisfied if Elysia can be convinced to change her stance on magic. However, a familiar threat approaches their home to destroy everything she sacrificed so much for. Can Elysia and Cassius have a second chance at peace?
