Ever since his best friend, Andy, was in a car accident that left him in a coma, Charley Finch has been having nightmares in which he helps Andy escape the clutches of the demon, Zorl who is on a mission, it seems, to push Andy through the Door of Death. Within these dreams, Charley and Andy are sometimes cartoon characters in wild animations, or merely boys in hazardous escapades evading Zorl on steep mountains, dark forests or hiding in a shadowy ancient castle. After a month of these nightmares, Charley's family doctor refers him to a child psychiatrist, the towering dark, T. Arambaala. After several sessions, Dr. Arambaala sends Charley to a sleep lab of a local university where it is decided that lucid dreaming may be the only way for Charley to take control of his dreams and defeat Zorl.

In the aftermath of the attempted assassination of Prince Tevra by his own family, Najlah and Barkus are assigned to his protection. While playing bodyguard to a measly human is far beneath Najlah's lethal skills, he can't deny he's intrigued by the man whose blood is now sunk into his very bones, a man who proves to have magic literally carved into his skin.Rather than back down in the face of failure, Prince Tevra's family only turns more ruthless, willing to pay any price to obtain the war and bloodshed they're so desperately seeking. But they didn't count on facing a dragon born in a volcano, a wolf forged in snow and ice, or Tevra himself, who has plenty to say about the family who ordered him stabbed to death in his own bed.

The Inquisitors have been stopped, but the one who leads them remains at large.
Tolan discovers a dangerous plot against the Academy—and all of Terndahl—the Inquisitors have planned for far longer than any have suspected. The power involved is unlike anything ever encountered by those within the Academy. Tolan isn’t sure he’s capable of understanding what has happened, but with his connection to the elementals, he might be the only one able.
The key to what’s happening is tied to something in Tolan’s past. For him to stop the one who leads the Inquisitors, and to understand what they’re after, requires him to know more about where he came from and why his parents left him in Ephra.
Stopping the Inquisitors is only the beginning, not only for Tolan to save Terndahl, but to finally know himself. Views: 97
