Running away from the dangerous Extremists seemed like the right thing to do. But in her escape with Linc to a hidden, remote place in Northern Canada, she soon finds being on the run is just as dangerous. Crossing Elemental territory lines where boundaries are the most volatile, and prejudices run hot, Vela and Linc struggle to stay alive. Limping into the uppermost reaches of Canada to their sanctuary, the Polar Bear Lodge, Vela and Linc discover a utopia. Families of intermarriages, couples with differing elements, have produced children with multiple gifts and Vela and Linc see what their world would be like if their clans stopped fighting and lived peacefully. The answer is to unite the clans, which a long-awaited prophecy promises if the Chosen Child comes to do it. Vela is, once again, forced to accept she might be the mother of this Child, but is she willing to be a part of this prophecy? To complicate her life further, someone in this community is determined to win Vela's attention. Her Intended bond with Linc doesn't stop this Elemental from trying everything he can to entice her. Can Linc win the fight for her heart? Will this prophecy be her undoing or the Elementals' salvation?
