Years before, in the same village, young Meginhardt suffered a brutal attack. Ethereal beings whisk him through time, urging him to confront his deep-rooted feelings of unworthiness. But when he discovers that Lexxie, not him, is destined to carry on his father’s bloodline, his hopes burn to ash, and jealousy takes root. Desperate to stop her, he delivers a message in person. As an apparition.
