Yet beneath his reckless ambition lies a dream few would dare to chase: becoming a Paragon and building a kingdom of his own.The problem? Inka can barely control the power flowing through his own tattoo.Alongside his teammates, Skoll and Hati, Inka sets out to prove himself; only to uncover a threat far greater than any criminal or beast they've ever faced. And before long, they realize the city they're sworn to protect may be hiding a secret that could change the world of Ink forever.
