I don't know what it means to be a Phoenix; to decide whether or not to kneel in the flaying flames of a ravaging Rebirth--but I do know that Dorian has made his choice, and I must find peace with it.

At least he is still a part of my life; protecting my Firebird village from a rogue, warring Phoenix hell-bent on revenge, but it seems our two races may have bigger problems to worry about when death comes looking for all of us.

Enemies band together to journey across Pyrros in search of answers that Dorian believes lie with the ruler of a crystal kingdom. Danger finds us at every turn, leaving little time to speculate about our future in the caves.

However, more pressing than the future is the past that surges to the present. Secrets of ancestors, war, and an ancient legend emerge to reveal that my destiny and Dorian's destiny are greater than any decision to face a life-resetting Rebirth.
