Publisher's Synopsis
After sixteen years, the War of Water and Fire is over. The water people have found a new home in their ancestral islands of the Great Ocean, and the fire people are establishing their new Eastern Empire. No more prophecies dictate the lives of the Balancers, as they find new roles in a world at peace.
But not everyone is satisfied with the peace. Uprisings and coups have been festering in the shadows, and ancient evils are stirring in their slumber. When Queen Maddie is gravely injured, and Emperor Conner goes missing, the peaceful lives of the Balancers spiral into chaos.
Thrown back into conflicts he thought were over, Samson has to remember how to be the hero he was four years ago. And when Samson and Lee find a mysterious book with dark spells and secrets powerful enough to solve their problems, they unwittingly send the world down a path it cannot return from.
