PAINFUL TRUTHS. DARKENED SOULS. BONDS THAT CAN'T BE BROKEN.
Lane returns to Stanlow and is taken aback by what the headmistress has to say. But she can't stay. She must find out more about the Tirich's Children, a group of fanatics who started the Third Demon War fifteen years prior. A group responsible for her parents' deaths.
With her friends, Lane sets out to the Tirich's Children basecamp in the mountains, only to discover demons got there first. Druzon, the Greater Demon, is possessing humans and taking steps to start another war. Lane must warn the Capital. They must prepare. But their enemies are always a step ahead.
As the truth about Guardian history unravels, Lane clings to the hope of a better world. Dreams warn her of incoming danger and guide her to those in need of her light. She can't ignore them.
Will she find those calling for her? Or will darkness once again get to them first?
