A diamond tumbles into a chasm. Lightning arcs across a starlit sky. A forgotten Evil wakes.
Bears and wolves race to the mountains in frenzied obedience to the Evil’s command. Transformed into monstrous creatures, they lay siege to the caverns of the High Alps, home of the Sleih and Gryphon.
Ilesse’s destiny is to be a powerful Sleih seer. But when the Evil touches her, she must battle its whispered promises – or see her world destroyed by her own hand.
In her village, Gweyr scrubs pots and dreams of her mother’s wistful stories of wise beings and magical flying beasts. But when the Evil threatens her people, she discovers dreams can hold the key to victory.
Will Ilesse accept Gweyr’s budding magic? Can they be allies in the fight against evil?
