In this exciting sequel to The Heart of the Radiant, a mysterious new threat arises in Doxla - a threat whose power rises as the world plunges ever further into decay.
Five years after the fall of Lord Grandis, Birdie finds her new home under attack by soldiers with magic of impossible strength. Sent by the enigmatic Lux Rosa, these soldiers have but one goal - to destroy Birdie and all that she holds dear.
Forced to confront the secrets of both her past and her ruthless "othermind," Birdie must journey to the City of the Divine to seek the aid of Syrus - the last remaining being with abilities remotely comparable to Lux Rosa's.
Time is not on Birdie's side, however. With every passing day, Lux Rosa's grip on the world grows ever closer to absolute. Even if Birdie does reach Syrus, will that be enough to stand against a foe with power over magic itself?
More importantly, how much is Birdie willing to sacrifice for a victory that may cost more than her defeat? She will have to decide this soon, for the showdown between light and darkness rapidly approaches.
