It’s been over a year since Beacon appeared in Crystal Bay, and while her impact is generally regarded as a boon to the city, Tricia is skeptical that she’s truly making the difference she had intended. Her commitment will be tested, though, when a series of mysterious disappearances thrusts her into the center of a conspiracy that forces her to more closely examine the source of her powers and prevent nefarious forces at work from using them to threaten the very world she’s sworn to protect.

With an all new array of color illustrations and vibrant characters, this sequel to the award-winning Paths into Darkness and Light raises the stakes for Tricia by pitting her against a powerful and ruthless enemy that will test her limits—physical, mental, and ethical—and force her to rely on her wits, recruit a new set of allies, and draw strength from what makes her a true heroine: her heart and her spirit.
