Darkness is spreading . . . It is vital that Tolen, the Ninth Chosen, get to the Zenith before he reaches the height of his powers in four days. But an attack on the day of his departure finds him with two dead guards, at the mercy of an elf he does not trust, and with a plan as risky as it is necessary. Tolen must learn to trust in his heritage and control his powers to save not only an entire race from slavery, but also the girl he loves from the evil that shadows her every step. Macy has been given a mission of her own, but only one clue where to begin: a clue that lies hidden deep within the human past she’s spent the last ten years trying to forget. Armed with a battered copy of the Prophecy of the Ninth and aided by a band of rebel Chosen, can she succeed in her mission before the Dark unleashes its armies on the defenseless human race? Separated by duty, but bound by love and destiny, nothing can truly keep Tolen and Macy apart. But the Dark has a plan of its own. . . .
