Lyra, her friends, and her family have lived in peace for five years. With only two Council members left—both missing and unseen for years—it seemed the war had finally ended. That is until Lyra has a vision. The group must now focus on training and protecting the next generation—Lyra and Zariya’s powerful twins, Xaire and Xavier. But when Xavier mysteriously disappears, the race begins—not just against their enemies, but against time itself. As reality begins to bend and the lines between past, present, and future blur, Lyra is faced with a haunting truth: the real battle never ended. It only changed shape. Some awakenings come quietly. Others tear the world apart.
