The need for revenge sings in Jaelyn''s blood.
Damek, the Omphalos City researcher who enslaved her as a child must die.
But when she finally receives an opportunity to exact her vengeance, Jaelyn finds her strength as an Oxalis-a human partnered with one of many spirits created to guide mankind-cannot quell her terror when face to face with Damek for the first time since her escape. Jaelyn cannot even stop him from ruthlessly stealing Sol, her partner and the source of her strength, from her. Not only does Damek take Sol with him back to Omphalos City, but he also issues a threat against her home and the other Oxalis hiding there. Forced into a race against Damek''s underlings, Jaelyn escapes with a fellow prisoner and begins her journey to rescue everyone she cares about.
