Writer Jody Houser expresses great delight about revisiting this intricate universe, stating “I’ve had a fantastic time in the Elderling Realm, and I’m excited for everyone to witness how Fitz’s tale concludes in this installment.” Chapter Three commences with Fitz embarking on Galen’s final trial, yet misfortune strikes near his heart.
