Phife's hometown is safe. It may be nothing more than a melting-pot of bums and runaways, but from her room at the top of the pristine Askan Cathedral, it is her best chance at a better life; one that doesn't involve being her family's shadow. It takes a rebel wannabe, a prodigy with much bigger ambitions, and local stray-turned-legend for her to realize that her plans for a life of freedom involve an unexpected side plot. Aska is on the verge of a major water famine, one that will effect each of the land's nine species equally. In an otherwise colorless world, the Green Land is the nation's only hope for a new water source, they just have to find it. Phife finds herself pulled into the crowd of lake-seekers, hungry for clean water and starving for coin. Separated from the group, a government conspiracy surrounding her own father, and an unanticipated danger lurking in the Green Land cause Phife and her friends to question the premise of it all.All Rights Reserved

Because of that, Forest is whisked into a war between the Superiors, who are cats with super powers trying to take over the planet, and the rebels attempting to stop them to restore equality. Forest is forced to fight for the Superiors. The only way back to his home planet is if he helps defeat the rebels with the other Earth cats, despite his growing sympathy for the cats he is supposed to fight. That, or he loses his memory and will remain in Gardinia for the rest of his life as a mindless minion.

Meanwhile, Princess Serafina, heir to the throne of Primsharah, welcomes an unusual suitor in the royal palace. This stranger brings a dangerous gift for her father: the Sphere of Truths, one of the ten World Artifacts, created by the gods themselves. As the Shah sinks deeper into his obsession with the Sphere, Inna starts experiencing visions about a thief stealing another Artifact, the Amulet of Doom. A deathly curse is bound to the Amulet, and its theft will set in motion a series of events which might destroy Primsharah for good ... and the world along with it. Together, Arran and Inna flee across the desert to find out who is stealing the Artifacts and why. But Arran's time is limited as the curse flows through his veins, with no hope for salvation save for the stubborn princess who is determined to see his survival.
