Opis

Descended from humans and a vanished race of elemental beings, only the Awakened know the truth about our world. Only they can hold back the fanatic Handmaidens of the Skaath Diurga--shadow creatures born from an ancient betrayal. However, the Circle of Awakened is incomplete without the Child of Heaven: a human destined to Wield the Spirit element. Before she can Awaken, she must die. Heaven has no memory of dying, except the experience of death itself. It's that memory, of a place called 'The Between', that convinces her the man claiming to be her Guardian might not be completely crazy. Besides, even crazy is better than the life she's leaving behind to be the Circle's Wielder of Spirit. All she has to worry about now is her training, and figuring out how to fit in with the Awakened. Tragedy strikes when one of the Guardians is killed, and ulterior motives thrust Heaven into the middle of the Circle's quest for justice. She'll have to decide just how far she'll go for the people she's come to care about.
