Reunited after countless millennia, Luc and Lila must work together to heal their world and avenge past wrongs.

But, haunted by her traumatic past, Lila struggles to embrace her newfound power, and Luc will have to answer the ultimate question:

Does he want her for her power, or does he just want her?
