Welcomed by the Grayonian Court, Amy, Paul and Sarah start the next stage of their adventure, learning to master powers that surpass anything seen before on Andrayis.  Yareph settles into his own lessons, meeting his classmates and exploring the Academy and the city now his new home.

 

But none of them have been forgotten by Rentock and Scarati set in motion a plan to regain them all.

 

Charaged with Kidnapping by the Scarati Crown, Dyran must get the children and Yareph safely to the High Court in Orcei to answer the charges.  To fail would mean not only losing custody but his position as First Mage.

Can they prove that the children really are from another world?

 

What evil lies beneath the dark boughs of Harrownwood standing in their path?

 

What does Rentock have planned for the children and Yareph should they lose, or should they win?
