Everything is falling apart around Josh.
If the issues of Cale's Soul Sickness and Mara's growing distance weren't bad enough, now rifts are forming too quickly to hide. With the implosion of pocket dimensions, the very veil between realms is at risk.
A potential solution arises in the form of the Elementals. They hold not one, but two of the coveted keys, and their experience with the Energy Realm provides their greatest chance of curing Cale.
But there are centuries of tension between the Elementals and the Soul-Bound, and if Josh and his friends don't manage to diffuse it, the Paladins may find themselves losing two important keys to the Shadow Knights.
The young Paladins will find themselves tested in ways like never before, and unless they can conquer their inner and outer battles, they will find themselves buried beneath the destruction of a growing darkness.
Chapter One: Never the Same
JOSH KNEW THREE things for certain.
The first was that the Sanctuary's regulated temperatures had spoiled him. A sweltering heat beat down from the ferocious sun. It probably didn't help that he was surrounded by people, which brought him to the second thing.
He hated large cities, especially ones that reminded him how much he sucked at other languages. Although he thought he picked up a few Mandarin words he knew, the swift speech and ever-shifting tonal intricacies of the language left him bombarded with sounds he couldn't decipher. Sounds that came from way too many people crowding onto the sidewalk. Seriously, why did anyone ever choose to live in a place so congested?
Then the third and final thing he knew was...
You so lost them.
No, I didn't, Boomer. Shut up.
Okay, then. Where are they?
Didn't I tell you to shut up?
Boomer's satisfaction at being right prickled at Josh. Or maybe that was the heat. Ugh, he wanted to be in an air-conditioned space already, not wandering the city with no definite end in sight.
Come on, sourberry. It's not that bad.
Josh glared at the back of a man in front of him. I'm going to trick you into eating chocolate-coated raisins again when you least expect it.
