With the exception of a double homicide twenty-three years ago, nothing big happened in tiny Franklin, Florida. Most of Officer Penelope Chance's cases were minor incidents. In spite of her prayers, the truth was sometimes she wished a case like this would cross her desk. Something to get her blood pumping and give her brain a good workout. So when she gets the call about an attempted murder, she can't help but get excited. But when she learns who the victim is, and who's suspected of the crime, her blood runs cold.

Devastated by a massive meteor strike, the only habitable areas on the Second World are held by hostile species. The survivors are dehydrated, starving, and losing all vestiges of hope. They turn on each other and divide into factions. Now, the only hope for the planet is reunification with the First World. The dark lord celebrates his victory over the survivors’ seer, but he remains bound to the Second World. Desperate, he seeks to trick some of the survivors into helping him fulfill his plans for the Second World’s destruction.

The 12 sentient species who inhabit the Second World have noticed environmental changes. The forests are shrinking. Storms are becoming violent. The desert is hotter, the waters colder. But since each species is isolated from all others, they assume the changes they observe in their specific ecosystem aren’t a global problem. All except Amadah. Concerned about the loss of her beloved trees, she strikes out on her own into the forbidden desert lands of the Topazi to see if they have any answers.
