Description: Grappling with grief as a battle looms in the Northeast, Azlyn Huziku puts herself in charge of assembling the four tribes against Newsity. But as her dreams become infiltrated by her fallen, she knows her task will never succeed unless she can also claim her destined dark stone sword.
Back at Dals, tensions are on the rise. Tiav Rayle is left reeling after finding Azlyn Huziku and Noah Arbor are not only alive but much closer than before. As his admiration for his former best friend sours, Tiav seeks revenge, wanting Azlyn to suffer as he did. With an unusual black goo creeping into Dals territory, prey is much harder to come by. Food stores are dropping, and the humans aren't the only ones in the forest getting hungry.
