Más información sobre el libro

Set in an alternate Europe engulfed in bloody conflicts, the fifth installment of the Crown of Stars series escalates the struggle for humanity's survival. The long-anticipated cataclysm approaches as the lost land of the Aoi reemerges, bringing disaster in its wake. Liath, having returned to Earth, realizes with horror that her time in the bespelled land has cost her nearly four years away from her family and allies. Meanwhile, Sanglant has rallied an army and ventured to the griffins' territory to forge an alliance against those intent on reworking the spell that exiled the Aoi. Alain, who was pulled into Liath's journey, finds himself back in the present, stripped of everything he holds dear. After a brief refuge in a monastery, he faces a grim fate, with his only hope resting on the Eika leader Stronghand, who is waging a campaign of conquest in human lands. As these disparate forces strive to prevent total destruction, the mathematici, led by Anne and Hugh, work to recreate the original spell that banished the Aoi, oblivious to the potential consequences of their magical endeavors, which could shatter their world.
