Something deadly lurks below the surface . . . The dead haunt my dreams. Though I'm still recovering from battling the Mara, I can't deny their summons—nor do I want to. I've proved to myself and everyone else that I can fight the monsters and win. Now I can't wait to destroy them once and for all.
