Raamo thought the hardest part was over. He and his friends Pomma and Teera had exposed the Ol-zhaan's deceptions and brought together the underground Erdlings with the tree-dwelling Kindar. The truth had finally emerged in Green-sky. But victory tastes bitter when old prejudices refuse to die. The child-heroes who achieved the Rejoyning now find themselves worshipped by some and resented by others. Suspicion spreads between the forest dwellers above and below like poison through the roots. Learning the truth proved simple compared to accepting it. Resistance movements gain strength on both sides. Violence lurks beneath promises of peace. Raamo watches his hard-won unity crumble as fear overwhelms hope. The societies he fought to bring together threaten to tear themselves apart. Time runs short as conflict escalates. Raamo, Pomma, and Teera must find a way to heal Green-sky's wounds before hatred destroys everything they sacrificed to build.
