Xenitha

Jack, Abigail and Ethan are called back to Xenitha once again. This time, although only a year has passed in their world, twenty-four years have passed in Xenitha and they are devastated to learn that some of their dear friends have in that time passed away or are now a lot older. They meet new friends, offspring's of their older friends; it is with these new friends that they embark on a new adventure to go in search of Ophelia and Keefer's son, Prince Willem, who has mysteriously disappeared, last seen with a man named Bard. As the mystery unfolds Ophelia and Keefer are angry to learn that the man named Bard is in fact the son of the late Nyklus, which Conan has kept secret from them. Although everyone is under the same idea, that Bard is as evil as his father and aunt, Conan believes that he is just misunderstood and yearns for the grandson he has been deprived of all these years. It isn't long before they discover that Bard is a metamorpher. They now have to be on their guard at all times until they enlist the help of a candor bird, the only creature that a metamorpher cannot change into. These birds are able to look deep into one's soul and see if that being is good or evil. Along the journey they meet Lanikai, the queen of the seas, who comes to their aid on more than one occasion. In this book Conan discovers a family tree and is shocked to find out the true identity of his first wife and why all the atrocities first began in Xenitha.
