Destruction

The Year of Souls begins with an earthquake—a dangerous rumble from deep within the earth—and it's only the first of greater disasters to come. The Range caldera is preparing to erupt. Ana knows that as Soul Night approaches, everything near Heart will be at risk.

Flight

Ana's exile is frightening, but it may also be fortuitous, especially if she can convince her friends to flee Heart and Range with her. They'll go north, seeking answers and allies to stop Janan's ascension. And with any luck, the newsouls will be safe from harm's reach.

Choice

The oldsouls may have forgotten the choice they made to give themselves limitless lifetimes, but Ana knows the cost of reincarnation. But she doesn't know if she'll have the chance to finish this one life with Sam, especially if she returns to Heart to stop Janan once and for all.
