Summary
post 4x13 canon divergent (literally throw the whole fifth season in the trash)
would you trust in a light that you cannot see?
It is said, when you move on, that you go to where you are needed most but sometimes where you are needed most is exactly where you left in the first place.
While the Dark King has reduced the kingdom of Fillory to ashes, Eliot recovers from his wounds at the Mosaic Cottage, Margo is on the war path for her throne, Julia searches for her true purpose, Alice tries to fix everything she broke with a little help, Kady stands on the frontlines, and Quentin tries his very best to make it back home, but it proves to be more challenging than any warning could've predicted. Magic is unpredictable, causing disruptions and devastations across the universe and there is only one person who may be able to make it right.
Spoiler: this story will have a happy ending.
