If she does not possess power, she compensates for this lack by her intelligence and her qualities as an epeist. She can also count on Eldeween, the elf with whom she forms an effective duo. Effective, she will have to be faced with the murderer who seems to have powers. He was waiting only for the arrival of Synillia and Eldeween to perform a deadly track game.
