Spellblade, the second novel in the series, migrates further south, following all new characters in in a parallel story happening simultaneously to the characters of Kingfall, with inevitable trajectories sure to collide with one another.

The youngest daughter of a nefarious elvan warlord has forgone any duties aligned with her father's brutal machinations in the north. Aliased as Scarless, she navigates through her own concerns as the guild queen of a notorious crime syndicate in the realm's largest city-nation.

All the while, Symbelle, a mentally conflicted introvert with a volatile split personality, is inadvertently injected into the Oathemic Cabal. With her unique inborn abilities, she is schemed to reunite with her long-lost past to infiltrate Scarless's guild as a double agent and eliminate the crime queen herself.

In the southern Az'Dayne Dominadom, the disgraced house of lon'Chandoss, once held in the country's highest esteem as a bloodline of famous spellblades, comes under its own issues arising among its newest generation when the triplet sisters have all just come of age.

Valaythea has managed to captivate the attention of Izayus, the prince of Az'Dayne himself. Adyssaira, born with the potential to become a mage, is having difficulty hiding her plight in a nation that harshly condemns such prodigies. And Odysserae, both mute and near-deaf, estranged and shunned, is not without dark secrets of her own. Finally, Athaniel, the eldest, is an assassin caught amidst a great conflict of interest between protecting his family and aspired legacy, or following his organization's unbending demands.
