Picking up right where Gateways, Book I of The Elemental Chronicles left off, Victoria believes that she'll be home tomorrow. After all, she defeated Ona, the mage who killed her father, and essentially saved the world. Or did she?Ona may be gone, but her followers are not. While they try to track her down, trouble brews in the Sphinx City where Elder Parnassus has been stripped of his elder-ship and the political atmosphere is tense, made worse by rivers turning to blood, fly infestations, and a plague of frogs that defile the city. Parnassus knows that the Mage Societies most valued possession - Faith - is at risk. But without Victoria to help, his hands...um, paws are tied.

Jack Elliott has Alzheimer's. To preserve his mind, he has written his life's story: the lessons, the gains and the losses he has lived through, in hopes that as his granddaughter, Alison, comes of age, she will not make the same mistakes he did. For her birthday, Jack takes Alison on a journey to the places in the West where he found his independence in life, his dependence on God, and fell in the love for the first time. When Jack's journals are stolen, Alison realizes that nothing will protect her grandfather from the evils of Alzheimer's. Victims of a hit-and-run, Jack is seriously injured. Desperate to find a piece of his past to bring to him, Alison continues the journey, searching for answers, seeking the people and places her grandfather once knew. As Alison follows the stories she grew up on, she realizes that she's looking for Jack's first love...and it's not her grandmother. Will this woman be enough? Will she be the 'kiss' that wakes him up?
