Tower of the Four — The Rise of Magic: Episodes 7-9
Synopsis
Ovalia was a powerful mage, held in place by loyalty to the four people closest to her. That loyalty is what they used. They cast her into the Dreaming — a dimension where time and reality come apart — and there a dragon burned her to nothing.
Ancient magic returned her. She came out of the Dreaming stronger than she went in, harder than she went in, and carrying a single purpose: the four of them are going to answer for it. Her power is growing in directions she cannot yet steer, and what she uncovers about her former friends as she hunts them is worse than the betrayal itself. What remains is a choice — whether to be a weapon, or something with more will behind it than that.
This volume collects Episodes 7-9 of Tower of the Four — The Sisters, The Dreaming, and The Four — telling the origins of magic from the antagonist's side.
