In a kingdom where two worlds meet, Lira is a spirit hunter. When the veil between the physical and the spirit realms Ruptures, it's up to the spirit hunters to seal it shut again before anything malevolent gets through--and if it does, to hunt it down. The problem is, Lira only has two goals in life: to protect Shari, her bonded spirit beast, and to stay the hell away from everyone else. Her plan to avoid civilisation works until one night, forced into an inn by a Wilds storm, Lira receives a mysterious letter asking for her help. It's not until after the serving girl's secret almost gets them both killed that Lira discovers a dangerous combination of two magics that might threaten not only Shari, but every spirit in their realm. The Kingdom she's spent so long avoiding might be the only place to find answers, but legends are coming back to life. An old conflict is rising, and by the end of it, dealing with people might be the last thing that Lira has to worry about.

After the accident that led to her seizures and her sister's estrangement, no one expects anything special from Olivia Lydiasdaughter.

Jason Nicolaisson lives his life in the shadow of his parents, waiting for the next blow. Every word and action is about survival. He loses himself in his music and among the smell of flowers, but with every day that slips by, he's beginning to wonder if it's worth holding on. With only a few days before they'll select the Aspect for their Chosen name, the only thing these two civilians have in common is that they're both on a crash course for two very different disasters. That is, of course, unless one decision and a Manifested can change their paths forever. *+*+*+*

Almost a year ago, Olivia Shadowheart and Jason Frostsong had to figure out how to protect a city from its own possessed citizens without anyone knowing they'd had anything to do with it.
