Step into the light and you'll see them... Forget everything you think you know about fairies, mermaids, and fauen - pretty little tales to put children to sleep. Enter the magically shifting landscape of Emrysia, where sentient swamps and ancient forests enchant disobedient daughters - to death Journey with three youngsters; Aryelle, a winged healer with an amazing gift, Lureli of the Mer, who shimmers with secrets as deep as the sea, and fierce Eleanor - she has horns even if you can't see them, and she may just slit your throat Three sisters, separate races, one common destiny. Enter their world - part fantasy, pure fairytale, but NOT for the faint of heart. Because, here in the light the Shadow is growing... Ever more certain that they are the Chosen who must save Emrysia from the Reign of Shadow, Aryelle, Lureli and Eleanor are scarcely into their journey homeward when disaster strikes. As Lureli's servants vanish and something precious is lost, tensions rise. The group splits up, and before any of them can ask the Stone of Seeing the way home, they are swallowed into a timeless void. Traveling through what they come to know as the Connectedness Locus, they encounter Lydian shape shifters, an angry Dezrot, and even Lureli's former mentor, Japhra. Will they go their separate ways - if they survive - or will fate call them together once more?
