Gellion and his brothers have crossed the sea at last, equipped with information they are sure will prove the elves' defeat of Kaelo, but what they find in Faeran is infinitely worse than anything they could have imagined. Kaelo has raised a phoenix-the same demonic monster that terrorized the elves for two hundred years in the Great War. Kaelo intends to rid the world of vierstone, and with a dragon-like bird whose flames can destroy all the lifestone in a city in a few sweeping passes, his success is terrifyingly possible.Against an enemy Gellion knows better than almost any elf alive, Gellion must overcome his fears of inadequacy and lead the elves in a final desperate fight for vierstone and all it represents. But only Eldian, Gellion's father, ever discovered how to kill a phoenix, and the secret followed him to his grave. As the phoenix's ambition grows and morphs, a fight for vierstone turns into a battle with much higher stakes, and Eldian's secret may be the only thing that can save the elves.

The Lifestone Trilogy embodies the heart of epic fantasy while pulling readers into a fresh world defined by a creatively different elven society, science-based magic, and diverse cultures.Daro lies in the sea, and Gellion is imprisoned among the humans while the rest of the elves return to their home continent. Gellion knows who is responsible for the destruction of his city-Kaelo, his mentor of centuries' past who was exiled for the unthinkable crime of murder. Kaelo now possesses the inexplicable power to break rock with a touch and destroy the elves' precious vierstone, but to stop him, Gellion must first escape his imprisonment and cross a continent and a sea. Among the humans, however, he stumbles upon a secret so momentous and disturbing it could change everything-if he ever gets back to the elves.Meanwhile, Kaelo is in the Great City of Tura, and the city's vierstone is blackening at an alarming rate. The elves still do not know Kaelo's motivation, let alone how to stop him. In their desperation, the elves turn to a cryptic source of answers they must solve before Kaelo takes his plan beyond the walls of Tura.
