In this highly-anticipated sequel to Prophecy of the Sisters, sixteen year-old orphan Lia Milthorpe continues her quest to end an ancient prophecy that has turned generations of sisters against each other. Having now accepted the responsibilities tied to her role as Gate, Lia journeys to the unchartered isle of Altus to continue her search for the missing pages of the Book of Chaos—the pages that could tell her how to end the prophecy once and for all. Along the way, her courage, strength, and soul are tested in ways she never could have imagined.
Meanwhile, twin sister Alice continues to hone her spellcasting abilities, completely ignoring the rules that govern the Otherworlds. Alice will stop at nothing to reclaim Lia's role of Gate, and that's not the only thing she wants. There's also Lia's true love, James.
The outcome of this battle between sisters will have consequences of Biblical proportion. In the end, only one sister will be left standing.

      In this sequel to the Victorian fantasy Prophecy of the Sisters (2009), Lia is resigned to a life spent as a pawn of prophecy, fighting the apocalyptic mission of her sister Alice and the demonic Samael. It's time for Lia and her dearest friends to travel to Altus, the home of the magical Sisters and of the Grigori, who protect the Otherworlds. There she hopes to find the mystical artifact required to advance her preordained adventure onto the next stage. Though the pacing is forced, with a quest moved along more by the requirements of narrative than by any natural evolution, Lia's journey takes her through many of the stepping stones of a good gothic adventure. There's betrayal by a loved one, the introduction of a mysterious and attractive young man, the inopportune death of a mentor, even a chase scene through the French countryside. Often-florid Victorian language, though appropriate for the story's mood, occasionally crosses the line from evocative to ridiculous ("Checkmate, I think. At least for now"). Dramatic set dressing, if little emotional resonance. (Fantasy. 12-14)

      An ocean now divides Lia (Prophecy of the Sisters) from her evil twin, Ali. Unexpected betrayal and an unbelievably perfect romance punctuate Lia's journey to a mystical island where she learns more about her heritage. Somewhat excessive internalized first-person narration slows the story at times, but the first book's fans won't mind Lia's musings.
