After tackling her first mission and coming to terms with her power of empathy, Andriana discovers her first battles were only a taste of what is to come. She and her knight, Ronan, have admitted their feelings for each other, but their bonds are tested when Dri is captured by their mortal and spiritual enemy--Sethos--and his master, Keallach, emperor of Pacifica. Adriana is certain Keallach can be convinced to follow the Maker's plan and join the other Remnants. But in time, she must decide whether she really can pull him back to the Way, or if Sethos's web of darkness has slowly and thoroughly trapped them both...forever.
