Desperate to free Nikolas, Juniper mistakenly trusts Julien, exposing herself to the harsh reality of who her grandfather truly is. As she realises her error, she faces the challenge of escaping Julien's madness, freeing Nikolas, and protecting him from those seeking his demise. With the staff still in Taro's hands, Juniper must fight to gain possession of it before Taro traps more of her people in stone. However, Julien makes it plainly obvious that she is not ready, causing her to second guess her own abilities and the increasing difficulty of the task ahead of her. Will Juniper successfully break free from Julien and rescue those trapped in stone, or will she succumb to the challenges and abandon everything?
