A depressed eighteen-year-old An old couple with a terrible secret A new exploration on an ancient mountain In the bowels of the mountain, two boulders leaned against a wall in a small chamber. Everything was as it had been for years upon years. No sounds from the explorers working on the surface above penetrated to the chamber. It was the deepest of the deep places. Then the air changed. The change was barely discernible, but it was there. One of the boulders moved. Slowly, impossibly, it stood upright. A grating sound came from it, and the other boulder slowly moved upward. For a long time, the boulders stood next to each other, motionless. Finally, as if hearing a cue only they could hear, they moved forward out of the small chamber. The Stone Walkers were walking again.

The underwater people have abnormally long arms and fingers and aren' t to be trusted— at least that' s what Stalli guide, Crispin, tells Lacht and her family as he takes them to a village on the shores of the lake. Lacht is intrigued; especially when she hears the Wassandra want help to find a missing child. Then dreams of the frightened girl begin troubling her. When they arrive at the golden lake, Lacht thinks it' s the most beautiful place she' s ever seen— until a bizarre discovery terrifies her. “ Help me!” cries the Wassandra girl in one last dream, but can Lacht find the courage to face the horrifying creature she sees in that dream?

Then Wave learns something from an old Wassandra diary that can mean life or death for Curl. A rescue team rushes off but they don' t know how long it will take to find her. They do know that if they don' t find her soon, time will run out before they can get her back. The Stone Walkers: One of the boulders moved. Slowly, impossibly, it stood upright.

The dragons that reign in Hell have grown more brutal over long centuries; when one queen fell, a more fearsome dragon took her place. It will take more than one miracle to stop her from setting all the worlds aflame forever.
