Don't seek the truth. It already seeks you.

After Eka and his new friends help secure an uneasy truce with the humans, their lives are irrevocably changed. He and Rana share a strange energetic link, putting him in constant jeopardy. A difficult choice looms before him. He can choose to trust his village's Crowned Ones and undergo an experimental training to explore his unusual connection with Rana. Or, he can hope his past attempt to star beam when Rana was in danger was a fluke that will never again happen and risk dying if it does. Seeking the truth of their connection seems the obvious choice, but ever since his cousin's unexplained death, Eka has struggled to trust his village's Crowned Ones. His mistrust becomes the least of his problems as he uncovers an even greater threat.
