Fen loses everything when his city is sacked by invaders. Orphaned and alone, he forms a strange bond with the city’s new ruler. He starts to carve out a life for himself, only to discover a strange power is awakening within him. The same power that killed his father. Aislin came from the sea, her origins a mystery. Like the sea, she is wild, unpredictable, and powerful. Feared and hated by the other children, she is bullied by them, until the day comes when she turns her power on them. Karliss is in training to become the next wind shaman for his tribe.

As the children of Stone, Sea and Sky struggle to master their powers, the inhuman denizens of the Abyss begin to move… Despite his efforts to suppress it, the power of Stone is awakening in Fen. The power is wild and implacable, and Fen knows it is only a matter of time before others learn his secret, and he loses everything. Unless his power kills him as it killed his father. Meanwhile, dark practitioners with unnatural powers have arrived in Samkara, and the Fist has fallen under their sway.

The Devourers have broken free of the Abyss and Fen's power is useless against them. Hunted mercilessly by the Devourers and their sorcerous allies, his friends captives, Fen seems to be out of options until an offer of help comes from an unlikely source. Will Fen be able to join forces with Aislin and Karliss before he is cut down by the Devourers? Or will they manage to get their hands on the last piece of the key and free the Queen of Chaos?
