Malcolm cannot walk away from Evie and it is becoming clearer that the mystery surrounding her past has caught the attention of the Warriors' most deadly enemy, a powerful dark Druid named Jason Wallace. And it is not only Evie who is in danger, but her younger brother as well, who has been taken hostage.

To make matters even worse, Evie has been hearing the call of dark whispers, pulling her toward a destiny she does not know if she can resist.
