In this seconded book of the Emanation saga the world expands to even more new lands and creatures, so much more to discover in this vastly rich world. After suffering a tragic loss of one who cannot be replaced, those who survived the battle of Wellspring must find it in them to continue on their paths. It is soon discovered that the darkness that was thought to have been defeated has survived and the forces larger than anyone had ever dreamed possible. Who will rise against such odds? Will one leader be able to unite the kingdoms? There are a select few who can swing the balance: One, living in isolation and shunned by all, who must accept the charge to help those who persecuted him; one who, though left behind, started a new life; one who was given a great responsibility at a tender age; one who holds powers beyond their own understanding; one who must deny their own blood; one who must make the ultimate sacrifice; and one who has mastered the ways of the mystic to levels thought to be unattainable. These individuals stand at the crossroads of light and darkness. Based on their choices, mastery of emotions, and commitment to honor the principles of love and courage; an entire world will rise or fall.
