Book Two: The Forgotten Locks
The silence lasted forty-three days. On the forty-fourth, the voices returned.
After the shattering of the first relics, Avery thought the worst was behind her. The world had survived, the land had begun to heal, and the first pieces of the truth were finally within reach. But the balance they restored was only temporary. The shards were never meant to be found separately—they were fragments of something much older, something powerful enough to reshape the world itself.
As strange signs begin appearing and the land starts shifting in ways no one can explain, Avery discovers that the second shard has awakened. Unlike the first, this shard does not simply reveal power—it responds to the world around it, changing with the emotions, fears, and hopes of those connected to it. The more Avery learns, the more she realizes the shards are not just weapons or sources of magic. They are pieces of a broken balance that the world desperately needs.
With Elias by her side, Avery must navigate the dangers left behind by those who sought to control the relics before them. Old enemies return, forgotten secrets surface, and the line between friend and foe becomes harder to see. The creatures that once hid in the shadows are beginning to stir, drawn to the power of the shards and the chaos spreading across the land.
But the greatest threat may not come from outside forces. As Avery’s connection to the shards grows stronger, she begins to uncover truths about herself that challenge everything she believed. Why was she chosen? Why do the shards respond to her? And what was the real reason they were shattered in the first place?
The journey to restore the world has only begun. With more shards hidden across a fractured land and time running out, Avery and her companions must unlock the forgotten paths left behind by those who came before them.
Because the shards were not broken by accident.
They were broken because the world forgot what they were meant to protect.
And now, someone must remember.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
