When the Kreo settlement falls under attack, Evie and her friends are spirited away to the last place in the world they'd ever want to be...a vampire prison. With the fate of the kingdoms hanging in the balance, they bind themselves to an unlikely ally, sealing a covenant they might give their lives to keep. The prophecy is waiting.

As an insidious darkness sweeps across the land, Evie and her friends find themselves in a race to fulfill the prophecy. Instead of arriving at their destination, the friends find themselves stranded on the shores of a distant land. A land where the rules don't matter and nothing is as it seems. In the quest to band together, powers are tested and relationships are strained. No matter how hard they try to move forward, it always seems like they're falling several steps behind. Will they find the stone and stop the darkness in time? 

Having escaped from the sorcerer's clutches and narrowly made it across the icy plains, Evie and her friends thought the worst of their troubles were behind them.
