Dans la Mésopotamie antique, Shory, une jeune esclave, est vendue à un mystérieux individu nommé Atim, qui lui propose un marché : l’envoyer dans un fort, qu’elle devra protéger, en échange de sa liberté. Elle accepte et rejoint une étrange construction, entourée d’une forêt profonde, peuplée de créatures menaçantes. Elle y grandit en compagnie de soixante-neuf autres rescapés, originaires de différentes périodes de l’histoire humaine. Tous ont rencontré Atim et ont pour mission de protéger le Fort. Ce sont les Vigiles.

Ce voyage sans retour répondra-t-il à toutes leurs questions ? Dont la première : où sont-elles réellement ?

In the second installment of the Lightfall series, Bea and Cad continue their quest to stop Kest, the mythic bird who stole the sun. After a battle that nearly cost them their lives, Bea and Cad awaken in the hidden settlement of the Arsai, mysterious creatures who can glimpse into the future. The Arsai's vision paints a dire picture for their planet, as the bird Kest Ke Belenus--now awoken from a restless slumber--threatens to destroy all the Lights of Irpa. Desperate for a solution, Bea and Cad seek out the help of a water spirit known as Lorgon, whose ancient wisdom may help them find a way to take down Kest and save Irpa from utter destruction. But when their time with Lorgon presents more questions than answers, Bea and Cad must decide what's more important . . . stopping Kest or uncovering the truth.
