As the Keeper of the Prophecy, Shaun has learned he, and only he, is responsible for wielding the two ruby talismans created for the specific task of reuniting the two realms of Ballantrae and Sach'home. The two realms were accidentally separated hundreds of years ago when a council in Ballantrae attempted to strip the magic from a powerful, malevolent man by the name of Kian. Having obtained the first ruby talisman from a woman long-thought to be dead, his next task is to find the second talisman - last seen in Sach'home. Before he can take one step towards his objective, though, he is swept away by a powerful blast of energy to another realm altogether - without Seth.As he is dragged from one realm after another by forces he doesn't understand, he learns there are many realms, instead of just two, all of which are being consumed, instead of reunited, as the prophecy races to its conclusion. Nor is Shaun the only one seeking the second, lost, talisman. Queen Evon and Wizard Ametz each seek the same prize, for very different purposes. As does Kian, who has now been restored to himself through deceit and betrayal - and the destruction of the third talisman.Shaun learns how to bring forth his own, long-denied magic even as he learns of the purposeful lies told throughout the generations to protect the talismans. But will it be enough - will he be enough - to wield the powerful talismans as the prophecy draws to its inevitable end?
