A storm gathers over Darkhaven. Gabby has made her choice. Now she must face the consequences. With her family in disarray and Darkhaven still reeling from the attack, that would be hard enough, but the Netica Project is more sinister than anyone thought. Worse, Liam, Gabby's only real friend at Darkhaven, isn't recovering from the attack. The Taskforce are still conducting their grisly experiments, Luci has vanished, and with a host of new Eventers prompting Donovan to start a training school, Darkhaven is stretched thin. Luci has the answers, but can Gabby find her in time to save her friend? Everfire is the second book in The Lightless Prophecy, a galaxy-spanning adventure of magic and gods, love and betrayal, and a quest to find out what holds the stars together in the dark.

From the author of the acclaimed fantasy trilogy The Masks of Agyrima, published by DAW Books, comes another epic YA fantasy adventure. Centuries ago, the people of Nevyana were forced to leave their old kingdom across the sea after it was devastated by the War of the Twelve Gods. The only three Gods to survive that war, Vekrin of the Earth, Arrica of the Sun, and Ell of the Moon, agreed to leave the affairs of men alone--but not until they gave their followers a few final magical Gifts. Vekrin and Arrica gave their followers the gift of Blue Fire, a powerful force that could provide light, heat, and protection--or be turned into a powerful weapon. But Ell chose instead to utterly transform her followers into the almost feline Nightdwellers, nocturnal creatures with fur, teeth, and claws. Enmity quickly arose among the three groups, and now the Nightdwellers rule the night, killing any ordinary humans they catch out after sunset. Vekrin's followers became the Citydwellers, retreating behind stout walls of stone, protected by the Blue Fire-powered firelances of the Priests. And Arrica's followers became the Freefolk, able to travel through the wilderness protected by a Fence of Blue Fire, but always in danger of Nightdweller attack. When sacred objects for channelling Blue Fire are stolen, three sworn enemies, Petra of the Citydwellers, Amlinn of the Freefolk, and Jin of the Nightdwellers, set out to find them, and their paths converge on a collision course with the truth. Can they bridge the centuries-old divisions among their communities? Or will their search for the truth and the explosive power of Blue Fire signal the end of Nevyana?
