Publisher's Summary

Four years have passed since Rafel disappeared in the expedition over the mountains. Deenie, now 18, starts having disturbing dreams about her brother. She comes to believe he's not dead after all, but is in trouble and needs her help.

She enlists the aid of her cousin Randa and the girls hatch a plan to escape from Lur. They escape and survive the hazardous journey round the coastline past the mountains. To their dismay they discover that the lands beyond Lur are blighted with lawlessness and chaos. The remnant of Morg's consciousness that survived his death splintered at his downfall and sought refuge in whatever bodies could be found to host them.

Throughout their travels and adventures they get some answers about the other lost expeditions, and keep hearing about one fearsome mage who's slowly but surely gaining the upper hand from his stronghold in the blighted near-mythical land of Dorana. Deenie knows this is her brother - that Rafel's not only in danger, he's become dangerous. If he's not stopped he could become a threat to the whole world. Perhaps even another Morg.

Fantastic book. bad narration

It was difficult getting into this series after finishing Awakened Mage due to the change in narration, however since it was a new series it wasn't so bad and the narrator clearly listened to the narration of the last books before doing his own. However in this series we switch Narrators in between books, which is not only already jarring but the new narrator is mispronouncing every name and clearly has no understanding of the book she's reading. it's really tough to justify how poorly its interpreted. I would suggest reading this one instead of listening.
