tracks motion and movement,
dances with death who has cold eyes

evades, attacks,
strikes Jas

What does he want?
Me.
Why?
He’s going to kill me.

Only 5 days to go until Aura Vere is officially launched!
Otta and Erl must face the kaerling, Jas, before they can ascend the long road to Aura Vere and find the child Derri once more.
Lored, the taku-kevir, must seek out the sister he’s never met in the Temple in Aura Vere, before the kaerlings find her.
And Undine and Tari must find a way to leave the Temple in order to rescue Lally, who has been abducted by the kaerlings.

the Solstice brightness
brings chill fear to Tari’s heart;
dark deeds beneath sun
