Six months after a tragic war, the world of Myrrah has found peace. But many of the heroes have not. Wandering to avoid memories of lost friends and past actions, Zhao reluctantly returns home to fulfill a promise to his sister and to challenge the elders of his people about their treatment of Air Elementals. His homecoming is met with hostility, but not for the reason he expects. It is far worse.
Zhao discovers that his niece, born with powerful elemental abilities, faces a life of hardship and subjugation similar to what he endured. To protect her, Zhao must rescue his sister, Yihn, even if she doesn’t wish to be saved. Joined by Laireag, a Kith with the power to control nature, Zhao embarks on a perilous mission to safeguard his niece’s future.
Amidst their struggle, the sinister High Priest Sinika, stripped of his elemental powers, schemes to regain his former strength and influence. As Zhao and his companions navigate a land fraught with danger and ancient enemies, they uncover hidden truths and confront their deepest fears. The journey tests the limits of their endurance and the bonds of their friendship, as they must prevent a personal conflict from erupting into a larger battle.

Autumn (also known as Weifarer and Autumn Raven) is a travel and fiction writer currently based in Maine where she lives in a small cottage lost in the woods, which she built with her husband and with the supervision (and approval) of two Cairn terriers.
With a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bucknell University in Studio Arts and English, Autumn once considered a career in illustration. However, an ecology course at Virginia Tech led to a Master of Science degree in Ecology and Environmental Sciences from the University of Maine in Orono. After graduation with her M.S., Autumn has worked for the USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service. This was a great job that not only let her help the environment and protect local agriculture, but also gave her a paycheck big enough to support her writing habit until finally … at long last she is now a full time writer and on-line educator!
