With no word from Kyja, the people of Farworld are beginning to face the possibility that she is truly dead, and the quest to save

Farworld and Earth has failed. In an effort to find a way to bring

Kyja back, Marcus must enter the most dangerous place possible

the realm of shadows.

Meanwhile, Kyja wakes up in a world of lost souls and memories.

With no idea who she is, she wanders Fire Keep, home to the

most quick tempered of the elementals. The other spirits around

her have given up hope. But Kyja is driven by a strong sense that

something is wrong and getting worse. A familiar voice warns her

that time is running out. To recover her memories, she must face

a literal trial by fire.

Can Marcus survive the realm of shadows to reach Kyja? Can

Kyja survive Fire Keep in time to regain her memory? Time is

running out for Kyja, Marcus, and their worlds and the Dark

Circle's real plan is only now beginning to be revealed.
