Bits and pieces of Nani's shattered memory begin to return and she learns that her task of restoring the six Pillars is not as simple as she had hoped. The broken Pillars are scattered across the world, and Nani and Tai realize their quest must take them out of the Border Mountains and far beyond the province of Avoria. As they search for a way across the border and into the province of Bayrudaal, the B'nli and their friends seek refuge in the hidden Mari Kai village of Talaris. Can they piece together enough of Nani's memories to discover who their true enemies are? What affect will the Pillar of Light have on Alexi? Should the B'nli fear the people of Bayrudaal, or seek their aid? Nani must embrace her broken past to escape from Avoria.
