After our narrow escape, Silas and I are forced to hunker down in a small town called Strait Water on the Tirin Continent. I get another job at a restaurant, and we do our best to stay under the radar. Meanwhile, Finn is working with Gary and Lenna to figure out the best way to face Galen head on.

Everything is going great, until the neighbor boy crashes his bike. Who's there to catch him? Me.

When his powers suddenly awaken, Silas and I know we need to get out of Strait Water fast. We hitch a ride to a small town outside the Caliginous Mountains, only to run into two of Finn's security guards: Tiny and Henry. We split into two groups, and Tiny leads me to a mysterious portal in the woods, which opens into a long-dead magical city.

Tiny swears this is the best chance I have at safety, but the deeper we go, the clearer it becomes that there is a lot more going on in Thistle City than meets the eye.

It doesn't take me long to realize that safety is just an illusion, and the only chance I have of getting out of here alive is learning to use my powers-or die trying.

This action-packed future fantasy novel is the second in a trilogy filled with intrigue, fantasy worlds, and mystery.
