She comes back from a mission to the academy where she trains and lives to find a friend she thought was dead. Only Jeynen has no memory of who she is, and won't tell her where he's been all this time.   After an assassin tries to kill Jeynen, he leaves and takes a piece of Rynlee's heart with him. She thought she was over him, but when she finds out the assassin is still tracking him, she has to go warn him. Even though it means leaving the academy where her entire life is and possibly ruining her chances of graduating.   Rynlee finds out about an ancient prophecy, and the academy she loves is threatened by the evil man mentioned in it. She has to gather allies and go back to her home to protect the place and the people she loves. A saboteur has infiltrated the Purators, and it's up to her and Jeynen to find out who it is.   Will she be able to face her worst fears and fulfill her destiny?
