After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsais vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenusnow awoken from a restless slumberthreatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa.
