Talon is a survivor. The last of the Blackblood race, she also endured the destruction of her entire village by a gang of brutal missionaries. Years after that life-defining attack, she travels to a lawless fortress along the edge of the civilized world, tracking the individuals who killed her family. As she makes the journey, she discovers that she possesses a mysterious supernatural power that she must now learn to control, not only to save herself but to defend the world against the tyranny of a fanatical religious dictator.

Talon deals with emotions as death seems to be the only answer to save her friends; an old enemy releases a dark power.

Tobin's secret is revealed to Gwynn; Talon learns of a long-lost deadly power; two groups hunt for Yavalla -- one group in hopes to find a cure and the other trying to kill.
