So when he spots a Hesgyr running off with valuable technology, he follows the alien home—and discovers a civilization unlike any he's ever encountered.

Now, the tourism board plans to sell tickets to raise funds to restore the old theatre. Dion offers to build stage sets in exchange for singing lessons for his daughter. Page can’t refuse.

Devastated by a massive meteor strike, the only habitable areas on the Second World are held by hostile species. The survivors are dehydrated, starving, and losing all vestiges of hope. They turn on each other and divide into factions. Now, the only hope for the planet is reunification with the First World. The dark lord celebrates his victory over the survivors’ seer, but he remains bound to the Second World. Desperate, he seeks to trick some of the survivors into helping him fulfill his plans for the Second World’s destruction.

The 12 sentient species who inhabit the Second World have noticed environmental changes. The forests are shrinking. Storms are becoming violent. The desert is hotter, the waters colder. But since each species is isolated from all others, they assume the changes they observe in their specific ecosystem aren’t a global problem. All except Amadah. Concerned about the loss of her beloved trees, she strikes out on her own into the forbidden desert lands of the Topazi to see if they have any answers.
