THE GATHERING PLACES: Yalara Narika recovers from grief and settles back to life on her Seanest, the Veliger, as it approaches the Lonely Isle and the Gathering Place. She must seek the aid of the Watcher Sprite and a dying human scientist—a man she calls an alciemist—ito uncover threats posed by a growing environmental catastrophe and the machinations of a forest Sprite, Xylenia. Passing between existence in his own mundane, modern time and medieval Wales, Einion Alban Morgan finds himself at the multilayered center of life and death in the Gray Hall, his unexpected friendship with Auron ap Cadwaldwr Gwynedd deepening, and the mysteries of the Igateways between worlds revealed to him by the exiled Sprite, Helia Eradica. In both Oceanlight and in medieval Wales, all is not what it seems. BOOK TWO OF THE OCEANLIGHT SERIES
