As Andreau takes the throne of the Kingdom of Eden, he believes his sister died during their last Trial.  But Carys was saved by Lord Garrett, and now she, Garrett, Errik and her best friend Larkin are on the run.  Andreus is still blinded by the lies of the seer Imogen and can’t see the traitor among his own Elders.  Unless Carys can embrace her powers, return to Eden, and help Andreaus see the truth, the Garden City will fall to the double threat of enemies both human and Xhelozi.

A fitting sequel to Dividing Eden.  Some magic, some evil, and lots of chances to act heroically.
