ALIGHT: THE PERIL
(Book 2 in the Pyxis series.)
Coming Spring 2012.
When Corinne learns who the second Guardian is, she begins to doubt she can fulfill her role as Pyxis. As she struggles with her pyramidal union, chaos and crime begin to permeate Tapestry, mirroring the tragic events of 1915. Children and teenagers fall ill one-by-one with a disease no one can diagnose, and when Bradley’s cancer returns Corinne knows she must find a way to stop the swell of evil. As her duties weigh more heavily upon her, she secretly escapes to the dream world, where she finds some peace. During one of her dream walks, she meets Zane, an Australian guy with a hot accent and a biting sense of humor. He makes a startling revelation: Corinne is not the only Pyxis, and hers is not the only pyramidal union. The more she learns about the other pyramidal unions, the more obvious it becomes that her own is sorely unprepared for what they must face. Can she find it within herself to overcome her past wounds and present fears, grow into her destiny as Pyxis, and bring her pyramidal union to coalescence?
