"Many have died trying this, lad. Do not undertake it lightly. The Elder Powers are neither gentle nor kindly."
With those words from his teacher, Jeremy began the ritual to bargain with one of the Powers of the World. He could gain much or lose everything as the Dark again endangers those he loves. But first he must survive the very cold between the stars.
Return again to the world of the volkh, where Jeremy and his companions must stand against the rise of the Dark. A world where the Elder Powers hunt the river of stars, where a city of shifters fall to strange and mysterious diseases, and even love can be lost. Join Jeremy, Galena, and their friends as the Dark returns and they need to oppose it.
