But ancient forces have been searching for them. When Queen Isolde's crystal warriors discover their sanctuary, the twins must defend their home against overwhelming odds. Even as they repel this first attack, a greater threat emerges from the shadows. As their peaceful existence shatters around them and their beloved guardian falls, the twins face separation for the first time in their lives. Meanwhile, deep within Isolde's fortress, Queen Kyra stirs within her crystal prison, sensing her children's peril across the magical bonds that connect them.
