Something doesn't want peace.
Seventeen years after The Spirus, Lisana and her children live in the idyllic peace she brought once she learned what she was meant for. That peace is suddenly shattered as two separate attacks are carried out on her family. Something that neither smells human, nor tribe member comes at Oris, Terros, Leodos, her brother, and child while they are hunting in the woods. Lisana is taking her youngest daughter, her son Rayne, and Neptis and Fluvis to the sea for a swim. She smells something strange and unfamiliar in the forest. As they return from their swim, something from the forest causes a wound to Lisana that she can't heal herself for the first time in her entire life. At the same time, there is an attack on the humans, causing destruction no one has ever seen before.
What is this strange smell in the forest that is neither human, nor tribe member that can cause that kind of destruction that does not differentiate between humans and the tribes?
