A once-idyllic world is cast into shadow when its boundaries are encroached upon by the ever-destructive mortal races. The only hope for the Enchanted World is mass exodus to the island of Ilthen. Society grows slowly into chaos as the Elven tribes work out boundaries and territory, and old grudges are rekindled. Meanwhile, Citrosine and her sister grow apart at a terrifying rate, as Tie questions life and love after the recent disappearance of their mother, and Citrosine's dark magic takes hold of her. Citrosine must choose between light and dark, love and loss...and between an Elf predicting her death and a charming Shadow Elf whose uncle may be darker than he seems. Ilthen becomes chaos as lives are lost, family is alienated, the flow of time is altered, and innocence is stolen away.

Bill Evans' gentle ballad reminds Greta and Sunday of all they shared and all they couldn't share when they first met in 1964 and fell in love. Sunday Morgan was the first Negro in Greta's otherwise white high school in Milwaukee. Both serious students from troubled families, they had everything in common but their color. Everything fell apart when Sunday returned from Mississippi after Freedom Summer. Thirty-two years later, Sunday and Greta meet again after a life-threatening incident forces Sunday to confront the meaning of courage. At fifty, Sunday is a distinguished professor of African American history in California. Long married and the father of three children, he finds his marriage threatened by his compulsive philandering.

Their second meeting marks the time in each of their lives that they begin to live their lives forward, rather than remain haunted by past fears.
