Saja doesn’t know it yet, but she is a prophetess for an alternate world called Nemoch. A lunar eclipse threatens to drain the light from the Castle of Illumine and the Solardian Towers. The evil Nemochian Tribal Alliance of Vescan, Vandis, and Tague races await to destroy the Solardian Light Keepers and disconnect the energy stones that supply all worlds with power. Saja discovers a link to Nemoch through her mother’s pendant and a painting from an African bush tribe. She realizes that her destiny is to save the Light Keepers from destruction. Can Saja and her friends overcome their Nemochian adversaries in time to save the Air Ryders and the Acceleran rulers from the Tague’s curse?
