Synopsis
Staci, the teenager who was sent to live in the run-down Maine town of Silence, is now a mage in training. The Blackthorns, the town's leading family and dark elves who fed on the misery of the residents, have been mostly defeated with the help of Staci and her friends, and the town is slowly recovering. Staci senses, however, that the Blackthorns have not given up. She and her friends must prepare to defend the town against the darkness that is closing in on it again. This is a direct sequel to Silence.
