A war is coming... The threat of Tourvaliene invasion is ever-increasing, and Sapphire Delfin's future looms before her. Is she the Child of Light spoken about in Prophecy, or are Dante Darksfeld's fateful words the mere ramblings of a crazed mind from 300 years ago? Will she make the long journey to Zhilvarien's capital, or stay comfortable in her new role as the most powerful Violet Sorceress at the Citadel of the West? While the Tourvaliene threat is a Darkness everyone fears, another, more powerful danger closer to home just may destroy as many people as a war... Many believe that Love really can overcome anything, but there are also those who fear that Love just brings with it far more trouble than anyone could possibly want. Zhilvarien must prepare for war. Is there time for Love amidst the Darkness?
