The medallions are lost; the Valang have risen again; the Breakers are coming. If they can't be stopped, Tranthaea will fall... French student Marc Thomas, Louisianan slave-owner Chloe Arcenaux, and American teenager Hunter Wells couldn't be more different but they all have one thing in common; none of them asked to be ripped from their lives and flung into the middle of a war in another world. Yet as they scramble to survive, the three Humans discover that they may be the only ones able to protect Tranthaea from certain annihilation. An unsolved mystery that stretches back through millennia could hold the key to victory, but there are those who would prefer the answer remain hidden. Straddling both sides of the conflict, Hunter, Marc, and Chloe must withstand the battling factions as well as the secret desires of their own minds if they are to succeed. Will they be willing to pay the price of victory? Or will they fall into darkness?
