As pressure mounts and Mikaela struggles with her commitments, Yan Wang, the King of the Underworld, offers her a deal — an alliance that could save the Realms and help her reclaim her shot at stardom. Now, Mikaela must choose: join forces with a power that could tip the balance, or risk everything, including her dream.
