He's also a bit unnerving with the development of his powers. Adelgis is left changed by the near death experience of the Abyssal Leech, but his loyalty to Volke is clear. Volke's influence has a strong impact on Adelgis, Fain, and Karna primarily. I also appreciated the new characters and the development of the existing ones. It's what draws her to him and makes her want to understand him. I appreciate how Karna can't seem to get past Volke's genuine kindness and willingness to help others over himself. Instead he wants to defend the same people who couldn't be bothered with his presence. Volke is a young man who should hate people and only think of himself because of the way the world treated him. Witnessing Volke's character time and time again is one of the strongest parts of the book and series. The journey to Theasin is long and winding. From the moment Volke was infected by the Arcane Plague, I've been desperate to see him recover. Together they seek Theasin for his cure, before Volke is driven mad. He is joined by Theasin's son Adelgis, the former pirate Fain, the Doppelganger Arcanist Karna, and the crew of the Sun Chaser. Volke is forced to leave the Frith Guild on his quest. Theasin bragged that he will cure the plague, but it's not clear where he headed after Thronehold. Volke has months before the plague changes him into someone unrecognizable and Luthair is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice to avoid losing another Arcanist. Volke Savan finds himself in a place no arcanist would ever choose to be in, infected by the Arcane Plague.
