He failed to save his sister.

Now a stable boy must join forces with two other teens and an elusive winged horse to free their world from a deadly plot to poison humanity.

Geona watched the young golden red filly pace in her stall. Every step the horse took only added to the danger of Ember not being able to run or even walk ever again.

“If she ruins her leg, she will be worthless,” Sayres said. “There would be no reason to keep her around.”

But all they did was talk about ideas to force Ember to stay still. Why couldn’t they see that Geona had the best idea of all?

Would she ever get the men to listen to her? And if she did, would her crazy idea even work?

She had to try. Because if she didn’t, Ember’s future and maybe even her life would be ruined forever.

In the sequel to Toxic, Kai battles Seekers and Unwanteds alone, desperate to save his family from Belial's evil schemes.

Lizzy attempts to save a friend from death with help from two strangers, and Taryn wrestles with the desire to use magic when he knows that it is wrong.

Geona nodded, unable to speak. Then she cleared her throat. "But she's not sick."

"Then what?"

"I don't know," Geona whispered.
