In Book 3 of The Gifted of Ada Ev series, it's four years after Paquin Imdarah and Carintha Alanari experience the elevation of their Gifted abilities. The Beloran ask Paq to assemble an elite group of the Gifted. They are asked to help face the challenge of imminent war between two regions who have been at odds for years. The last hope for peace lies in the skillful negotiations of a Folasi named Candon, but at the brink of success, he is captured.
The assembly of the Gifted, under Paq's leadership, is called on to find and rescue Folasi Candon as the Beloran retreat to institute a disciplinary action they call Containment.
Paq leads his Gifted assembly north to find Candon and set negotiations for peace back on track, but he discovers a threat to Ada Ev even more dangerous than warring regions. Within the group of very powerful Gifted companions, everyone's abilities are pushed to extreme limits as they face unexpected challenges.
