A sudden twist awaits Elyda—together with Shani she ends up in the Lair of the Exiled, a refuge hidden from outsiders for a long time. The long-awaited reunion with her parents brings not only joy, but also a new test. The girl must make a difficult choice: part with charonite or go against her parents’ will; accept her fate or try to change it.
Friends left above do everything they can to find the girls, but they have to act secretly, because adults are too busy to help them. And that one person who can enter the Lair unnoticed is in mortal danger. Recognizing the real enemy isn’t easy, even though his features are becoming ever more real.
For middle and high school age.
