Anxiety was starting to loose hope, and I mean that quite literally. Before he became a true Trait he gained a being called a Half-Trait. A Trait that is weak in power and can only summon themselves by their own will once a year. Half-Traits appear when negative traits need someone to look to when they are feeling down. Anxiety's Hope had appeared and will try to make the other Traits realize what they are doing to Anxiety when his day of personal summoning is over. He takes the Traits through the Dreamscape and makes his last day the best it can be for the Traits until he has to tell them the horrifying truth.

SPOILERS for Book 1! Everything seems to have been torn apart. Kera has been possessed by the evil Queen Liriel's spirit, and Aelwen has been gravely injured. Yet still, the fire Koa must be found, and the rebellion's army must be built. What is Aelwen to do?
