The Quest has only just begun. The threat to the Lands is far from over. With the release of the Red Eye’s hate, the seal to the Quietus’ prison has broken; Barracus has escaped the underworld; and the Adderiss has taken Aidan and issued a demand – Ren must find the Dragon’s Tear, the third Eye of the Quy, the Eye of Pain. The Adderiss and Barracus want to control the Lands with the Eyes’ power; the Quietus just wants complete destruction. The Defenders stand ready. Aaron travels to find a creature that may provide the magic to stop Barracus. Nigel intends to mend the seal in the Quietus’ prison. Chris joins Ren to search for a way to save the Lands, but their search will lead directly to the Tear. When Ren learns it can be used as a portal to travel back in time, will he choose to withstand its pain in order to obtain a secret that will help defeat the darkness? The truths are needed. The quest is on. But there is another reason Ren needs to find the Tear. The Tear will ensure his death. It is the only way. Let the purpose be revealed . . .
