"The Ashen Swarm" is the sequel to the novel "Reiyalindis." Six years have passed. The young seeress Reiyalindis Amarainein has not had a vision since the day she was freed from Alhalon the Black's curse. Now a young woman, she is content with the simple, peaceful life she shares with her adoptive parents. But all that changes one night as her dreams again grow troubled, warning of another threat to Rimurea-a much older and much more dangerous threat than the Sanretsu. Taken beyond her homeland and hunted by a ruthless assassin, Reiyalindis must unravel the mysteries of the world's oldest race before it is too late.
