Darkness fights hardest against the lights that burn brightest.
Elian’s victory over the invading Debru came with a high cost, but for the first time in generations, hope beats in the chests of the warriors of the wandering clans. Before the dust from the battle can settle, though, the Debru reveal their true, terrifying power for the first time. Once again, the clans must flee while they desperately search for the strength to resist their destruction.
Closer to home, Samora studies the mysteries her own victory against the Debru has uncovered. Their world is not what she thought it was, and humanity’s new allies keep secrets that may decide the fate of both clan and village. The deeper she digs toward the truth, the more dangers she uncovers, and some secrets are best left buried in the past.
As the siblings seek strength and truth, the Debru begin their final push to exterminate humanity. Surrounded by enemies on all sides and discord within the clans, Elian and Samora fight for a future that is anything but certain.
