In the world above, the bombardment by Hallah’s sky is getting worse by the day. But in the help fairy grottoes, the once-heroic Glix Larue is unable to help. Recovering from massive injuries, she is forced into a dreary new life as a help fairy acolyte named Lunziq. Her once-glamorous, exciting life is now an endless string of drab gray days. Only her dreams offer a shred of hope. Then a chance for a harrowing escape appears. Once outside the grottoes her life spins in a strange direction. A new real-life acting role is supposed to keep her safe, but she has something the help fairy Grand Mother desperately wants back … and what the “Old Demon” wants, she gets. Even Glix’s long lost Aunt Marma and yet another disguise can’t keep the dreaded Redhoods at bay for long. After a mind-to-mind encounter in a different grotto leads to a short-lived victory, Glix is deposited in the Well of Life, a dark, poisonous pit of pain. Hallah still needs her, but all Glix has left are weary dreams. When help arrives, it’s almost too late; with her body shutting down Glix must decide just how much she really wants to live. In the second installment of the Falling Sky trilogy, the award-winning author of The Luck of Madonna 13 delivers another thrill ride of a novel, crammed with mysteries, suspense, twists, heart-pounding action … and, yes, romance. Ellison’s fertile imagination introduces a new batch of outrageous characters and bizarre situations that will leave you perched on the edge of your seat for Book 3.
