Being Heard is Only the Beginning Korvo, Merin, Bryce, and Tiernan have permission to open a school for Magics in Kaybrum, but the work is only beginning. The right to learn didn' t come with books or teachers or funding, and putting a school where a correctional facility used to be brings its own challenges and trauma. The more they learn about the Refuge, the more atrocities they discover. When Bryce finds a grave on the property, Korvo is pushed to his limits. Aer is gone, and the man behind it all, the General, is still out there. Craving justice and revenge, Korvo leaves to hunt down the General. Without Korvo to lead the school, Bryce and Merin must step up and care for all the students still grappling with their newly tolerated magic. As their found family spreads across the continent, they' ll have to learn to be as strong individually as they are together before the progress they' ve made slips away. But the continent has been fighting for years, and all-out-war is one misstep away.
