Two months after the reversion, Shanti continues her training at the Seekers' Sanctum. She is assailed with visions of Anna's past...visions that are further proof that she and the goddess are connected.

As Shanti's amazing progress captures the attention of the entire Sanctum, she forges her own path with a daring to return to the Covenant's capital of Colonia, knowing that her parents and the Prophecy of Annara are the keys to unlocking the past...as well as her role in stopping the Second Darkness.
