Book Two Defying their orders of exile, Tylan and Sully return to Evolin to face King Acipor. But two against the kingdom’s forces requires more planning. In the forest surrounding the city, Tylan and Sully find a group of young men hiding to escape persecution. Sully is pleased to discover his former comrade, Gannon, leads this ragtag set. Soon, they find refuge and shelter from the dark clouds quickly gathering on the horizon. Worried over strengthening bonds between old friends, Tylan grows distrustful. When a boy with the gift of foresight warns Tylan he will be betrayed, the fire within him grows stronger, waiting for its chance to take control of the prince's body and claim Sully for its own.
