An oracle tells of their coming: the six, born to right the wrongs of their ancestors. Sam, Adrianne, Teresa and Carrie are only children—and one of them is destined to die. For centuries, Earth’s sister-world, Ariatless, has maintained neutrality between the realms, a safe space for the patron races to co-exist. But when a baby is born of war, it becomes the perfect host for the Old World’s greatest evil: a spirit called Talicor.
