One hundred years ago, Sillara and Tsujatha were caught up in a wave of terrific events that forever altered their nation. They began their adventure as a pair of homeless orphans and concluded it as the Prince and Princess of the Tamari. But that is all in the past. Now Sillara dwells in the distant forests of the Larenai Elves, the mother of twin sons and an accomplished telepath. Tsujatha is the honored Prince of the Tamari and a magician without peer. Their lives seem settled. But appearances deceive. Darkness falls upon the Golden Desert, and the fabric of Gilalion is stretched nearly to the breaking point. Evil, a power that dwarfs the Dragon's and nearly as old as the world itself, strives to enter. Can Sillara and Tsujatha prevent it? Will they even have the chance? For Sillara's sons are stolen from her lands, and Tsujatha goes missing from Halchek. Can Kan-Terak trace their sons? Who can find Tsujatha? Will Sillara and Tsujatha ever meet again? The answers lie in the world of Gilalion, a world whose depth and richness never fail to enchant. There the epic tale of Sillara and Tsujatha continues.
