Life within Rynn's sanctuary of de Vanger has changed and with every change comes the uncertainty of what the future will hold. For years Rynn has hidden from Merak and the truth of what she is, but no longer is it possible to hide, for she is no longer alone in her curse. When met with unspeakable sorrow, the only option left for Rynn is travel to Thevinguard with of the hope of saving one whom she loves. Rynn's life, and what she thinks of the curse she carries, changes forever when Thevinguard is left in ruin and the life she once knew crumbles in about her. No longer can she shun what she is, or the greatness that might be hers as she learns to wield the light and power of her gift.
