The children of Paradise have found their place in Illaria, but are paying a heavy price for their freedom.
Rilla's increasingly unstable power puts her in constant danger. Arishen lives in fear of lintep violating his mind and rummaging through his most horrific visions.

With Lishe growing ever stronger, and the prophecy in play, Rilla and her friends must gather their courage and face their greatest fear.
The time has come for them to go home.
