As a new father, the world has changed for Tan. He wants nothing more than to protect his family, to find a measure of peace, but when he discovers a friend-and bonded elemental-in danger, how can Tan not act? Saving Honl means reaching a greater connection to the elements than before, and takes him back into the heart of an old enemy where he learns there was more to Incendin than he had known. Gaining that knowledge is only a beginning to understanding an emerging threat, one which warriors faced centuries ago. Tan will need all the connections he has made to succeed, or he will lose not only Honl, but all of his bonds. The penultimate novel in The Cloud Warrior Saga.
