"The colonists of Xon 9 are dying. The Imminent Darkness has unleashed its ultimate weapon: a bio-contagion that is a ticking time bomb of death. Ka Waylon must save them. But first, she must break out of a maximum security prison. Then, if she survives that, she must travel to the Land of Metal and retrieve the final Elemental stone. Metal has many secrets. The Metal queen and the tribes of her land: the Fulgurs and the Tonitrui--should not be trusted. Ka is running out of time. A decision must be made that cannot be undone. Should she risk the fate of many or the fate of one?" --,Amazon.com.
