The twin siblings, Zula and Mala, thought their troubles were over, but as they soon found out, problems arose.

After the clock tower of Chancellor Warsa was destroyed, he decided to find a new way to make money. He went to the city of Sutapa and chose to manipulate trade there. Unbeknownst to Warsa, one of his highest-ranking officers, Marcus Kran, was planning to overthrow him. Meanwhile, Mala and Zula discovered they had an aunt and cousin named Anna. After their mother saves them, Zula and Mala face the challenge of reuniting Humphery with his wife and daughter and finding a solution for Durna’s problems.
