There she learns the Six Realms are on the brink of disaster, and incursions by demonic beasts are growing more frequent.The Duke needs Xue's help to unlock memories from her past that could hold the answers to how to stop the impending war... but first Xue will need to survive being the target of every monster and deity in the Six Realms.Also by Judy I.
