Picking up where Bloodrose left off, this short story delves into the aftermath of the final battle between the Searchers, the Keepers and the Guardians.

A once-thriving world now lies in ruins, its inhabitants shattered and haunted by the aftermath of a devastating battle. Secrets and shadows intertwine, leaving the survivors questioning their past actions and their uncertain future.

As Adne grapples with the haunting memories of her choices, Logan finds himself on the run for his very life. Fear still grips the hearts of the Searchers, as they struggle to find security in a world that offers none.

What they thought was the end of the War of All against All may just be the beginning of something even more sinister . . .
Andrea Cremer spent her childhood daydreaming while roaming the forests and lakeshores of Northern Wisconsin. She now lives in Minnesota, but she thinks of her homeland as the "Canadian Shield" rather than the Midwest. Andrea has always loved writing and has never stopped writing, but she only recently plunged into the deep end of the pool that is professional writing. When she's not writing, Andrea teaches history at a very nice liberal arts college in St. Paul. In the little spare time she can find, Andrea stares up at trees, rescues infant rabbits from predatory cats, and invents names for pug puppies with her husband. She has an unfortunate tendency to spill things—white carpets beware! View titles by Andrea Cremer
