Description: Five years have passed since the Raven saved Balaia. But as Balaia pulls itself back together nature seems set to pull it apart with storms and tidal waves. The disturbance is centred on one person: Denser and Etienne's daughter, who is four years old and learning to control her massive powers.
Synopsis: The latest fast moving, action fantasy from James Barclay throws the Raven against each other in a world that is literally falling apart. The natural heir to David Gemmell has created a stunning world and a band of heroes who are already earning cult status. Five years have passed since the Raven saved Balaia, sealing the dimensional rip to the dragon dimension. An uneasy peace reigns with the Wesmen tribes, Julatsa is struggling to recover, the other colleges are once again struggling for dominance. The Raven have gone their separate ways. But as Balaia pulls itself back together nature seems set to pull it apart. Freak storms and tidal waves are battering the continent. Something is disturbing the manna flows that hold the fabric of the world together. And the disturbance is centred on one person; Denser and Erienne's daughter; four years old and learning to control her massive innate powers under the guidance of a secretive sect. Must she be stopped? Or should she be helped? Something has to be done before Balaia is torn apart. The Raven are called together once again and face an agonising and heartbreaking mission. Can they kill a four year old girl? Can they afford not to?It is dilemma that will set friend against friend, father against mother, Raven against Raven. Can the Raven survive? Or will they tear themselves to pieces before they can save Balaia?
