After her fraught journey to save her queendom, Mirae has finally cast the Netherking back into his dark cage in the Deep. But his imprisonment brings her no peace - because in his final schemes, the Netherking managed to possess her beloved older brother, Minho, and it is his body that languishes in the Deep, tormented by his possessor.

She must set out once more to stop him, slipping in and out of the future with her divine powers as she races a path to the heavens itself.
