At One Stride Comes the Dark

The seeds of change have been sown in Valernia, but who can say what kind of crop they will produce or what hand will guide the plow for its harvest. The Starfall has opened the door to great power, but seizing it is no simple matter. Alana regains her memories of the accident, and with their return comes a revelation that will force her and Stijn to choose between a dangerous present and an even more uncertain future. Jarvis and Baldwin embark on the prince regent's expedition to the Dakken to find more of the Star. As their journey unfolds, they may find what they are looking for--but not what they expect. Ivor and Cedric continue to make their bids for supremacy. There is, however, only room for one at the pinnacle of power, and the steps taken to reach that height cannot be taken back. The stakes in this game rise higher and faster than any of them could have anticipated, and with every path comes a slippery slope and a point of no return. At One Stride Comes the Dark continues the story of Starfall, which began in The Best of Dark and Bright and concludes with Through the Mists of Fear.
