Now, four years later, twenty-nine year-old Julie is far too young to have given up on love. She may be ready to risk caring for someone again. But who?

Now Falconara should not only find his father, but also save the life of his friend Katie Lynx. As Falconara embarks on a journey beyond the world, he will face the ultimate evil, threatening to destroy everyone he loves.
