Choosing to say out of the Alliance, the Cinders are isolated in their own conflicts, and when Helia Cinder reaches to the void for answers, she inadvertently draws a creature out. Expecting to be eaten alive, she is instead left with a man with no memory who is afraid to leave her side lest the void reclaim him. But how is she supposed to hide a vampire the void spit out and find answers when she can barely get any breathing space?
Ghost, on the other hand, has lost his place in the world after the void claimed his other half. Just as he is losing all hope, dreams fill his night, images of a woman with crimson eyes just as powerful as Talamayas' but brighter, like the fire that his master wields. Alongside her, his brother is alive once again, and Ghost wakes each morning with the phantom feeling of the woman's magic and touch. Desperate for answers , Ghost embarks on a mission to find this woman who holds his brother, to confirm she is real and not just a figment of his unconscious mind.
Meanwhile, in the Sol deserts, things are moving in the sands, deep underground in the caves that Talamayas had long since forgotten. The past crashes into Talamayas and Wren as they navigate the surprise arrival of some old enemies as well as gain some new friends, but will the scales of fate lift them up or crush them down. Don't miss this last adventure deep into the Sol deserts with Talamayas and Wren, nor Ghost's mission to find just what the Cinders are hiding!

"I do though." He interrupts me. I finally look up to meet his eyes. It holds so much sadness. "Believe it or not but it hurts me every time I see tears in your eyes." His hands reach for my face, one more time and gently wipes the tears off my face. No matter what, the tears keep flowing down. "Please don't cry." He whispers.
"You have someone out there just for you. Waiting for you." I whisper softly. A sad smile forms on my face that is now saltier than the ocean bed itself. I try to tug his hand off my face, but his hold is firm. He leans his head down and places it against mine. "I know." His whisper equally soft.
"You need to let go. Just as I am." I close my eyes and take in the breeze of ocean that surrounds him and now me. I hear a deep growl just as his hold tighten on my face but it's still gentle.'
