Taking Control: Part Two in the Starchild Series

By Bobbie Falin

When Kaphri fled the tower of Kryie Karth with her tiny dragon companion, Gemma, she feared she was destined to evil. Now she knows the threat is not from her Birthstar, Arylla, but from Araxis, who twisted its power for his own evil use.

With the help of her Geffitzi captors, she evaded his evil plan, but their escape has trapped them on the southern side of Araxis' barrier with two more warriors, who are blood enemies of her companions. And somehow during their flight through the menacing darkness of the Black Temple, Kaphri picked up a small crystal on a golden chain. Uri's tests show it is aligned with good, but no one knows its true nature-or how much harm its removal may cause.

She and Frax strike a bargain. The warriors-all of them-will help her find her way south against the force that is driving her. In exchange, she will learn to use Arylla's power to remove the barrier that prevents the Geffitz peoples' return to the south.

The Eldren Swampdwellers, who possess powers so great they can even block Ly Kai stars, do not welcome Kaphri, or her troublesome Geffitz companions, however. They know what the crystal is and are willing to do anything to stop her from using it.
