book two: the sky and the soil
Coming this winter, the Sky and the Soil
Switching between the perspectives of Ashen and Ginger, book two begins where The Dark Ruby ends. Ginger can tell that Turmoil is no good and Ashen is struggling with problems of his own -- he feels as though the quest was the most important event of his life, and now that it is over, he is at a loss. Meanwhile, new dangers are becoming evident- could Alex's ominous talk of the open portal be a warning?
