Synopsis
Cara investigates a story that was removed from the unicorns' records, hoping it explains the long conflict between the unicorns and the underground delvers. Her search takes her through the delvers' world and into the Valley of the Centaurs, where she learns she must be careful whom she trusts. At the same time her father Ian travels from India into the Rainbow Prison, a realm of light between Luster and Earth, to free Cara's mother, whose spirit is held there. Both journeys move toward the court of the centaur king.
