In this, the second book in the Amentura trilogy, time has moved on since the events that led to the recovery of the Ancient Fathers' great machine. The machine has indeed restored equilibrium to the world and once again there is a time of peace. The Elder Races remain disparate but at least there is now an element of trust and understanding between them. Minervar and Iolrreas are living with their people in the great wood, the forest of Gel'Te'Ertenya that covers much of the western half of the continent of Dahl'Ambronis. Tent Town is but a dream lodged in the past. 

Iolrreas's first born daughter Nar'Allia is no longer a child, she has come of age and is struggling a little with what it means to be a young woman in her society. Amongst all this uncertainty, she is busy trying to decide what to do with her life. 

Minervar has not heard anything from her travelling companions of old, the friends she made during the time of the first book - 'Destiny Whispers' . But one day a character from that past arrives on her doorstep unannounced bearing a surprising offer. What seems at first an innocent opportunity, sparks Nar'Allia's imagination and may just give her the breathing space she needs. Little does she know that grasping this chance will turn her world upside down.  

A legacy left over by an old adversary causes an unforeseen disaster. This single event thrusts Nar'Allia way out of her comfort zone. The resulting turmoil has her making discoveries of breath-taking substance beneath the sands of the Rust Desert and way, way beyond. 

Once again old enemies are pitched against each other. Events unfold that force Nar'Allia and her companions to make choices of epic proportion with more than a few 'twists' along the way. 

If you like science fiction, heroes and adventure, you'll love this book. 

Watch out for the third part of the trilogy, coming soon.
