"Your separation from the others to whom you are bound has caused disturbing tremors in our knowledge. The ties are stretched thin now. If they were to break ..." It's been months since Zania Corthinn was taken captive in the elven kingdom of Maneset by the sorcerer Rhodnic, and she has given up hoping for escape. Then she receives a startling message, one that both gives her hope and makes her fearful for the friends who were forced to leave her behind. Now with the help of her fellow captives, Prince Brylent, Yvan and Lune, Zania must make one last effort to destroy Rhodnic's power. But even if they can escape, what will they find waiting for them when they return home? Return to Dawn is Trina L. Talma's fourth book in the adventures of Zania Corthinn, and the conclusion of the trilogy begun with River's End and The Throne of the Sun.
