Living Echoes

A broken wand offers one passage into Sigil—and no way back.

Elisa was hurled beyond Faerûn. Chime followed so she would not be alone. Firemind paid for their escape in stone, and now his shattered body waits for a miracle. Two weeks later, Rishi, Maeril, and Grim force open the remains of his portal and step through before it burns out behind them.

Maeril prepared for distance, hostile planes, and guarded thresholds. She did not prepare for someone who knows exactly how she searches. Her spells return true answers twisted into useless shapes. Every promising door opens onto an empty room. Whoever is hiding Elisa understands Maeril’s wardcraft from the inside—and is using it to keep the rescuers away.

In Sigil, the City of Doors, help carries a price and every threshold can become a bargain. The closer Rishi and Maeril come to Elisa, the more dangerous their original plan becomes. The rescue they crossed the multiverse to perform may preserve the very road an old enemy needs.

To bring their family home, they must discover what their heroism would unleash—and change before the final door opens.
