Four summers have passed since Avelyn Lorcan and her family fought against marauding ants of fire. Now an aging sickness is shorting the lives of the tixies in the forest. When Avelyn's mother becomes ill and ages 100 summers before her eyes, Avelyn is paralyzed with sadness. But her brother Killian has an idea. Far into the west, outside of the confines of the massive forest they call home, a fabled pixie city sits on a barren hilltop. This legendary city is the home of a sacred Dust that is rumored to give creatures long life. Desperate to find a cure for her mother, Avelyn agrees to her younger brother's crazy idea, leading to a dangerous journey unlike any Avelyn has ever known.
Book 4 of the Tixie Chronicles follows the desperate search for hope in a world gone wrong.
