Wielder school’s out for the summer, but Jahl, Donya and Rouen can’t seem to get a quiet moment anywhere.
Jahl’s certain Donya is up to some sort of mischief, and Rouen has received a mysterious package from the young twai wielder they met in Carolan Faire last year.
What starts out as a short trip to the headwaters of the Naigan River turns into one mad dash after another.
When a small mountain predator attaches itself to Rouen, the three wielders find themselves facing more than the mystery behind why the rare creature has left its natural environment. Someone is stalking the nahrak and has no problem with harming those who get in the way.
They may not only be what stands between it and destruction, but also what stands between their own safety and the source of the High Council’s magic.
Read the third book in the series because trust can be difficult to pin down even when you have magic at your fingertips.
