Miroslava has a gift for seeing prophetic dreams and hearing dragons. A year has passed since she returned from Alvoia, and the girl would give a lot to return to the world of elves and meet Darien again. Now she is in Alvoia—but around her are not the green world of the Ancestors’ Earth, not the sky-reaching cliffs of the Reborn Lands, but mold-covered walls of a dungeon. A dream in which Miroslava sees the death of her beloved forces her, on the run, to build an escape plan and not look back. But it’s not just the powerful witch who is hard to avoid. She tries to kill Darien, and Miroslava wants to be near him and, if needed, protect him with a sword in her hands. It wasn’t for nothing that she trained for a whole year.
But an attack by a phantom army—against which a sword is powerless—makes her wonder: shouldn’t she go to a distant citadel and learn magic in order to stand against the witch? Yet this is only the beginning. Besides the witch, the heroes are threatened by fomori—monsters from the depths of the sea. And the lord of the sea himself is about to unleash his wrath on the elf lands.
