An enemy approaching. A secret unleashed. A companion gone missing.

It's time for Enzi to roll up her sleeves and handle things herself.

Gaedyen has vanished. The stone has been stolen. And nightmares continue to plague Enzi. But all that's nothing compared to the coming battle.

Alone, abandoned, and out of options, Enzi finds herself lost in the realm of the Crivabanians-a squirrel-like race who want her out of their realm. Struggling to keep her location a secret, she develops an unlikely friendship with Veri, the sarcastically witty apprentice to the local healer.

When she overhears an earth-shattering secret that connects this realm to her past, she can wait no longer. She must seek the truth for herself, with or without Gaedyen.

But Enzi wages war in her own mind, fighting to break down the wall that prevents her from mastering her power of invisibility. Legends of the great Cathawyr race and a diabolical weapon ripple to life in this riveting sequel to The Gwythienian.
