Lia made her way to London after the tragedy of her brother's death. She knows that Alice is now truly her enemy. Lia continues to hunt for the missing keys while discovering how to gain power amongst the planes. She's nowhere near as strong as Alice, and that thought frightens her.
When she receives word that her Aunt Abigail, guardian of Altus, lays dying, Lia must travel to her to discover the location of the hidden pages. These pages will tell Lia how to use the keys to close the gate once and for all.
However, traveling to Altus will be a difficult journey. During the trek, Sophie begins to turn on Lia. The Souls have captured her and force her to tempt Lia into opening the Gate. Lia refuses, but the betrayal causes her deep grief.
Through her journey, she meets a man, Dimitri. At first, he's a friend, but soon, he captures her heart. Lia doesn't know how to choose between him and James. Unfortunately, in the wake of Lia's disappearance, Alice has been comforting James. The thought of her twin with her childhood love makes Lia sick. She vows to straighten out everything after she accomplishes her mission. Until then, she finds comfort with Dimitri.
The journey to uncover the pages will be extraordinarily dangerous. Dimitri will accompany her, along with several riders along the way, each only knowing part of the journey. Will Lia and Dimitri escape with the pages unscathed and the secret knowledge, or will Alice and the Souls intervene?
I loved the second book in the PROPHECY OF THE SISTERS trilogy, and I can't wait for the third book and the showdown. I enjoyed the tension between Lia and the rest of the characters as she pulls away from everyone due to the weight on her shoulders. I like the introduction of Dimitri and the new love triangle for Lia. CIRCLE OF FIRE will be released in August 2011.
