WELLS KYONG and VIVIANNA BRICKLIN have been to the edge of sanity and cheated death. Now, they're back in home sweet hometown, reconnecting with friends and family and navigating the more mundane horrors of Vastmyre High School. Cliques, bullies and lousy cafeteria food are almost welcome compared to what they've been through at the hands of the sinister LANN BRIGMAR. Alas, status quo refuses to maintain itself. Mysterious notes are popping into lockers. Wells and Anna find themselves able to execute complicated martial arts techniques they've neither seen nor heard of before, much less practiced. Their mentors and allies, the DIADAE, are around every corner - as are their enemies. And through it all, Wells finds his link to Anna deepening in such a profound way that it's frightening. Add to that the reappearance of his boyhood crush, and Wells is headed for an unusual Autumn semester... if he survives that long. [Díadae Saga #3.]
