Previously

…As they turned away from the village square, leaving the heartbroken villagers to the corrupted Starfall and its shadowy parasite, Lyra cast one last glance back. The shadow pulsed, a dark heart beating in the chest of their dying joy. But now, for the first time since the Starfall had begun to weep, a new feeling stirred within Lyra, a fierce, protective anger that burned hotter than any fear. She would face this darkness. She would find the light. For Oakhaven, and for the memory of a Starfall that once sang with pure, unadulterated joy. The journey had begun.
