The auras of Aos have been thrown out of balance by the overuse of magic. The illustrious Magicians Council of Rihurr are the worst offenders, using stolen pieces of a moon to boost their power. And they will stop at nothing to cover it up. But unless the balance is redressed, the Rise and Fall are on course to swallow the world of Aos whole, until there is nothing left but mist and stars. The Daughters of the Moon are through with waiting, and as they prepare to take matters into their own hands, Ana finds something she is desperate to protect. Armed with a face to blame for her brother's death, Dominique is ready to confront the Council head on, and Luke's new friends have an unexpected ally that could tip the odds in their favour. Reeling from the truth, Theobald must decide which is more important: the esteemed colleagues he trusted for so long, or the research he's nurtured his entire career?Aos is on the brink of catastrophe with no one poised to save it, and it has fallen to their unlikely party to restore the balance, before time runs out. For everyone.
