The balance that held Restin together begins to fail quietly at first, then all at once. From Gessir to the city gates, schemes sharpen into open threats. Joedan faces the hardest versions of the questions he’s been dodging since the farm: What do you stand for when standing costs you? Who do you protect when you can’t protect everyone? With allies scattered and enemies emboldened, loyalty and love no longer fit neatly into plans. “A Purpose Defined” brings the trilogy’s promises home not with neat answers, but with choices that mean something. Expect broader horizons, heavier decisions, and the kind of resolve that only exists after loss. The battles matter, but the heartbeat of the story is simple: finding the purpose that carries you through them.
