The Puppeteer and The Poisoned Pawn (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798985593471)

Skylenna's world stops revolving around Dessin as she learns of a new secret he's been hiding. Plagued with betrayal, anger, and paralyzing waves of confusion, Skylenna must put her feelings aside and focus on saving DaiSzek from the Vexamen Breed. But after tragedy strikes, she embarks on a journey alone to learn the dark, epic secrets of her past. The lost memories of her childhood. The missing pieces of Dessin's grand plan.

Yet, what if this sinister truth is enough to tip her over the edge? What happens when the sweet, compassionate girl is gone, and all that's left is a monster born of irreversible trauma?

Skylenna is no longer the helpless pawn to be moved across a board. In fact, it's time for her to take the strings and orchestrate the darkest puppet show to ever reach the stage of the Emerald Lake Asylum.
