Facing Fortune (Gurdians of Terath, Book 2)

A new manahi. A new military. A famous bard who suddenly resurfaces after a decade of hiding. A lot of changes have taken place on Terath, and an ecological crisis has raised tensions to the breaking point. Kassimeigh and Arc must work with Luc and the scientists in the Capital to determine whether the discovery is a threat to the planet. Each discovery unspools more questions, as they question the nature of mana and what it means to Terath. At the same time, they must try to calm an increasingly nervous population. Will and Izzy offer their help in that regard, but the newly-formed Guard has never been called into action before. Meanwhile, Kassimeigh must deal with a shocking change in her own circumstances, which forces her to rethink her place in the world. Life, death, mana, and chaos rival one another for supremacy. How can Kassimeigh help protect the world when she has no idea where she belongs in it?
