Telyn Gwndal had given up on love... Phoenix Telyn Gwndal intended nothing more than to bury her battered heart in Raiador's fiery core. Her Elemental hosts have a very different idea of where she belongs, and their quest could cost her everything. Within the benighted forest of the Eleshau, Telyn would come face-to-face with her most hated enemy and, in the halls of Death itself, her most beloved ally. Can Telyn find the heart she cast far away, or has Fate's design come far too late? Until a ghost taught her nothing is impossible. Marakai Swordsinger's disappearance of decades wasn't a subject for discussion -- not even with his best friend. When an evil witch turned the people who once abandoned him into slaves, he would stand and fight for them. Only, he never expected the cost to be so high. And when his struggle for life takes a turn for the worst, can he truly trust the vision of an angelic face from his past to save him?
