The city, Cielis, is supposed to be ruled by the powerful council of Stonekeepers. Emily, a new Stonekeeper, is asking for their help for the coming war. With her family and friends, Emily finally finds the city but there is something sinister in the air. Surprisingly, she will have to compete with other young stonekeepers for a seat in the city council- life or death.

This is the fourth of the series. I suggest you read the first three to know what is going on.

Daring with great visuals. Overall, good story. Looking forward to the next issue. Highly recommended to readers of adventure/action fantasy stories. ~~ Jeffrey Lu
