It has been two years since that terrible incident in which the hometown of the Shuc-las was destroyed; two years since the Storm Hunters lost their leader; and two years since Swallow seeks a revenge that she has not been able to fulfill. Now, a new storm ravages the peaceful and frozen city of Tatlas, where the strange awakening of its volcano will not only turn the world upside down once again, but will also serve as the perfect distraction for a strange race as old as the Shuc-las to kidnap Panther and her son while the Storm Hunters follow the trail of the renegades who caused Siresli's downfall.
