The final book in the Fraction Series takes Akara and Rydan across Delsi to the Loreena Mountain Range, where a reclusive tribe hides from the war torn country. Anyone who ventures to the Ventiana village never returns. But the fourth gem, the final piece of the Hedrea Stone, rests with their leader. Akara, Rydan, Severine and Tristan need to cross dry desert sands and climb steep snowy landscapes to reach a people who have no interest in what outsiders have to say. And with their Namaqua reputation, Rydan and Akara find it very difficult to convince the Ventiana that their formidable village, as well as their stone, are in danger. But if Eve obtains the last gem it will be nearly impossible to stop her from gaining her revenge. When one of their own is found guilty of a crime against the mountain tribe, the doubt and accusations amongst each other threaten to tear the four apart and leave room for their worst fears to come true. But in the darkest hour, a leader emerges. And one thing is certain. In order to stop Eve's destruction, not everyone will come away with their lives.
