Now, sidelined with a fever in a remote village, Edward comes face-to-face with a childhood friend. Though he’s become a valuable member of his country’s military, Edward can't help feeling a pang of jealousy during this unexpected reunion. While he and his brother are bound to their cruel fate, his friend is busy making his dreams come true. Once again Edward must wrestle with the consequences of his alchemically altered past.
