Except for the voice of Cayden being a little robotic, all of the other performances were good. Lia and Rave were in captivity in the barbarian kingdom of Venda. They have very little chance to escape from there, and even less of being together.
Kaden, the erstwhile assassin of Lia was desperate to save her life. He also told the Vendan Komisar that Lia was having a special magical gift. The interest of Komisar in Lia was far more than what Lia or Kaden could foresee.
The foundation of the deeply held beliefs of Lia was crumbling beneath her. Nothing there was straightforward. There was Rafe who lied to her but at the same time, he sacrificed his freedom to protect her. Kaden was meant to kill her but he instead saved her life. Moreover, the Vendans whom she always thought to be the barbarians, but she then realizes them to be the people who have been brutalized by the Dalbreck and Morrighan kingdoms.
Lia was wrestling with her gift, her upbringing, and her sense of self. She was at the point to make some powerful choices that might affect her people, her country, and her destiny.
