The Eater of the World continues to spread its dark influence across the realm of Ephemera, corrupting people's souls with doubts and fears. Only Glorianna Belladonna possesses the ability to thwart the Eater's plans. But she has been branded a rogue, and must stand alone against the encroaching entity.But she is not alone. In dreams, a call has traveled throughout Ephemera—"Heart's hope lies within Belladonna"—and reached Michael, a man with mysterious powers of his own. It awakens a fierce hunger within him to find the dark-haired sorceress he's dreamt of—a beautiful woman named Belladonna. Together, they may be Ephemera's only hope.
