When Emily loses control of her Amulet, she is imprisoned in the Void, where she must escape the influence of the Voice, while her brother, Navin, travels to a space station where the Resistance is preparing to battle the approaching Shadow forces.

Naven, Emily and their crew of resistance fighters set off to find the lost city of Cielis and its' Guardian Council's Stonekeepers.

Emily and her friends think they'll find the help they need in Cielis, but something isn't right. Streets that were once busy are deserted, and the townspeople who are left live in crippling fear. Emily is escorted to the Academy where she's expected to compete for a spot on the Guardian Council, the most powerful Stonekeepers. But as the number of competitors gets smaller and smaller, a terrible secret is slowly uncovered--a secret that, if left...

Navin and his friends travel to the city of Lucien searching for a beacon that will help in their battle against the Elf King. Meanwhile, Emily returns to the void with Max, a follower of the Elf King.

The lost city of Cielis is not what they expected. While part of her crew are taken prisoner, Emily is forced to fight for her life in a series of tests that will determine which young Stonekeeper will join the Guardian Council which governs Alledia. As the tests continue, a terrible secret is uncovered, one that will change the heroes' lives forever.
