It's a war for the fate of an entire species, but the Fauns who've been threatened with extinction would rather not fight back. Chass knows more than anyone how deeply connected the Fauns are with nature—he did marry one, after all. Now that King Drevon is on the warpath for revenge, it's up to Chass to put together a rag-tag resistance army to protect those he cares about most. The only problem is the Fauns believe killing, even in self-defense, is wrong, and engaging in a violent war they have no hope of winning will only sow chaos and imbalance in the spirit world. They would sooner let themselves be sacrificed to King Drevon's wrath than block their own souls from reuniting with the Great Mother and Father in death. When all hope seems lost, Chass finds a tempting alternative to end the war once and for all: He can enslave the Spirits of the Storm, the same way King Drevon had all those years ago. It may make him no different than the villain, but with the ability to wield elemental powers he could strike straight for the heart of Fennox Castle. The question is, would he be able to live with himself if he did? More importantly, would his wife?
