Forged in Fire

Having slipped through Mannon's fingers, Heir to the Firstborn Aria and her two Companions - Waterborn Aven and Fireborn Owyn - have left Forge behind and are on the road to the Earth tribe lands. There they'll find the heart of the resistance. At least, that's what they've been told by Memfis, Owyn's adoptive father and Companion to Aria's father, Heir to the Firstborn Milon. They will also find Aria's Earthborn Companion, and take another step toward fulfilling the cryptic Vision of the Dove.

The Earth tribe lands are nothing like they were led to believe. The Healing centers have been destroyed, and Mannon's men are out in force, with orders to bring the Waterborn to Mannon. To evade the guards, Aria, Aven, Owyn and Memfis follow a young healer back to her home - a healing center hidden in the cliffs overlooking the sea. There, they find the surviving healers, the Chieftess of the Earth tribe, and the Senior Healer. They are offered sanctuary, and the Senior Healer offers to complete Aven's training as a healer. The Chieftess offers Owyn more - a link to his unknown past.

But not everything is what it seems, and their safe haven may not be as safe as they thought. Memfis goes off to seek visions, and doesn't return. Then, in an instant, Aria and Aven both vanish, leaving Owyn racing against treachery and time to find them and uncover the truth….

A truth that might destroy their hopes for a future.
