Synopsis

After the tumultuous events of last winter, protagonists Kate, Michael, and Emma long to continue the hunt for their missing parents. But they soon discovered by their enemies, and a frantic chase sends Kate a hundred years into the past, where the various nonhuman sapients (Dwarves, Elves, Giants, Dragons, Trolls, etc.) are in preparation to create a parallel reality in which to hide from the Industrial Revolution. Searching for a way back to her brother and sister, she befriends 'Rafe', the innocent younger edition of the supreme antagonist 'Dire Magnus. Meanwhile, Michael and Emma set off to find the second of the Books of Beginning (the eponymous 'Fire Chronicle', which enables its user either to revive the dead, or to restore an individual's sense of purpose) which they ultimately win from the Dire Magnus' subordinates with the help of an Elvish colony. Afterward due to their previous encounter Kate dies but Rafe gives himself to The Dire Magnus in order for her to be saved; He helps by sending her to the future ( or the present) for her to be saved by her brother. With the help of the Chronicle, Michael is able to revive Kate back to life but unfortunely learns that Emma has been taken away by Rourke
