The second volume in the acclaimed Broken Well trilogy. War is coming. A war that will finally end the struggle between Kainordas and Fenvarrow, the lands of shadow and light. It is foretold that a blue-haired man will the the ultimate victor, and lead his people into a glorious age of dominance. The only problem is that there are two of them. Bel sets forth to retrieve the Stone of Evenings Mild, his sole chance to reunite with his darker half, Losara ... but the Stone has been stolen by an undead mage of questionable allegiance and is hidden in the lair of an insane dragon. Meanwhile, Losara grows dangerously curious about his other self, and devises a weapon so uncontrollable, it frightens even him. How can two men fulfil a fate meant for one? Will this infernal balance persist, or is there a way to bridge destiny's rift?
