In this book, the second one, you learn just how Tuck saved her from sacrifice and all about the society of the Lah Sept. Lah Lia then goes off on an adventure of her own back inside the society of the Lah Sept. Tucker also goes off on an adventure of his own, going to past, present, and future, just like Lah Lia's adventure. This book is an excellent time-traveling adventure just like the first one!
