"Dynamic action and humorous dialogue personify this exhilarating series." -Publishers Weekly Cartoonist Sourya's manga and bandes dessinees-inspired adventure continues as Talli trains to master her mysterious powers before her pursuers lay siege to the city in the third exhilarating installment of the Daughter of the Moon series! Talli is a Summoner, a being of immense but mysterious powers granted by the goddess of the moon, and shunned by society for that very power. On the run from the forces of Lord Ulric, who wants to exterminate the Summoners, Talli and her companions take shelter in a mountain stronghold manned by those loyal to the children of the moon. Fara, an elderly Summoner-the first of her own kind that Talli's ever met-begins training her to use her power and, ultimately, the mythical Chimera that appears when her blood is spilled. Isolated with her new teacher and her frequent verbal sparring partner Lelo, a lethargic but incredible swordsman, Talli's ability grows. Further down the mountain, Lord Ulric and his terrifying Special Brigade lay siege on the walls that separate them from their prey. As the gates fall, Talli's loyal knight protector, Alan, bets his life on Captain Nina, forest warriors Max and Maddie make a final stand against improbable odds, and we see the true power of the Summoners for the first time!
