Publisher's Synopsis
Fifteen years have passed since death of Kaehl, the young hero of Welltower. The nearby city-nations, once deadly rivals, now live in an era of peace, where light-powered healing globes bring health and long life without cost. Too much ease, however, has addicted many to the power of the globes. When Kaehl's sister discovers that she can control light with her mind, rival powers destroy each others' production centers in a frenzy to steal her secrets and dominate international markets. Forced to flee, the young mother's extraordinary abilities put her young family in the crosshairs of international corporate greed and political intrigue. The mother and her husband battle for the lives of their children, heirs of the light, pitting their skills and gifts against the combined might of three nations.
