Description: Seven Witches. One traitor. An army of the dead.

Brin is scarred, but no longer alone. After giving up his evil Rare Class in exchange for the simple and common Glasser, he’s finally been accepted by the people of Hammon’s Bog. But acceptance doesn't guarantee safety. Mirrors and glass spearheads offer little protection against threats both outside and within.

An army of undead is lurking in the surrounding forest, cutting them off from the rest of the world. There’s no rescue in sight, and worse, no one knows why the army is there or when it will attack. Brin's only lead? A chilling revelation: the army's movements are controlled by someone inside the town. As tension rises and time runs out, Brin must unmask the traitorous Witch hidden in plain sight before the town is engulfed in darkness.

Brin has conquered the nightmares that once plagued him, and now his goal is to master the power of his class—illusion. With a new skill that lets him split his mind and juggle multiple thoughts, his imagination is the only limit. But time is running out.

When Brin is summoned by the leader of an order of knights, he’s plunged into a conflict that will shape the fate of the world. Brin’s glass and illusion magic are getting stronger, but his greatest advantage is a dangerous secret: the allied kingdoms’ strongest warrior, a Paladin, is actually Arcaena’s spy. Will Brin reveal the secret to everyone, or wait for the perfect moment to strike? One thing is certain: Brin’s trump card may be a secret, but Arcaena has secrets of her own…
