Ember has one goal—to find the remaining keystones and save her mother from the clutches of C’Tan. Desperate to move forward and find the Emerald Wolf, she takes matters into her own hands, cousins Lily and Kayla at her side. Together, they steal horses and break free of the demands of the mage council only to be caught by Ember’s brother, uncle, and guardian, who angrily return the girls to the school. Magemaster Ezeker makes the girls and their three captors a deal—take the remaining students home to Bendanatu and Phoenixia and then continue their quest for the keystones. With C’Tan’s attack on the mage academy still burning through the walls, the younglings are not safe. He said nothing about the danger of the Ne’Goi, their constant harrassment, and the death that would come. How could he have known? The Emerald Wolf brings Ember and Kayla through their greatest challenges yet—surviving repeated attacks from the dreaded Shadow Weavers, a selfless sacrifice, recovering the emerald keystone hidden in the midst of a dangerous maze that only Ember can solve, and fighting a legion of Ne’Goi bent on destroying the Bendanatu. In their darkest hour, salvation comes from the one place they never thought to receive it—their greatest enemy, C’Tan.

Ember has been accepted into the mage academy, but not without cost. She has gained a new enemy, ancient and dark, whose entire purpose is to destroy all white magic and her along with it. After nearly losing her life in a brutal attack, DeMunth is assigned her guardian, and the keystone he wears, The Armor of Light, begins the transition that will make it a true power. Kayla has lost most everything of importance to her—the people, the prestige, and all she fought for the past ten years. With nothing left to lose, she continues her search for the birthplace of The Sapphire Flute and the Wolfchild she believes to be its player. Her journey will take her to strange, foreign, and often dangerous places, and everything she had thought to be true will be proven wrong. In a showdown full of betrayal and heroic loss, Ember and Kayla finally meet on the battlefield, fighting a war on two fronts—against C'Tan and her people, and the mysterious enemy bent on destroying all magic—the shadow weavers.The story is full of power, betrayal, hope, and love. The elements of the universe are coming together, and none can know who will stand in the end.
