(euskaraz)
Aurreko liburuko azken guduaren ondoren kokatuta, istorioak bihotz-mina modu hunkigarrian tratatzen du, sentimendu horiei merezi duten arreta, zaintza eta denbora eskainiz.
Liam eta Ellyk garai zail hau ikasketen, entrenamenduen eta solasaldien bidez gainditzen dute. Honek haien arteko lotura eta adiskidetasuna sendotzen du, elkarri min handi hau eramangarriago egiten laguntzen dioten bitartean.
Bestalde, aurpegi ezagun bat haiekin kontaktuan jartzen da, eta antzinako etsai horrengan konfiantza izan dezaketen ala ez erabaki beharko dute. Pertsonaia honen bitartekotzari esker, ezkutuan egon diren hainbat egia argitara aterako dituzte, azkenean, aurre egin beharreko mehatxu bihurtuko direnak.
Idazkera fina izaten jarraitzen du, esaldi eta deskripamen harrigarri eta hunkigarriez josita.
(Castellano)
Situada justo tras la batalla final de la entrega anterior, la historia aborda la pérdida y el desamor de una manera emotiva y tratando estos sentimientos con el cuidado que se merecen.
Liam y Elly superan esto duro periodo a base de estudio, entrenamiento y charlas, lo que fortalece su vínculo y amistad, mientras se ayudan mutuamente a sobrellevar su dolor.
A su vez, un rostro conocido contacta con ellos y deberán decidir si pueden confiar o no en este antiguo enemigo. A través de este nuevo vínculo, descubren algunas verdades ocultas que acabarán convirtiéndose en amenazas a las que tendrán que enfrentarse.
La escritura mantiene su delicadeza, llena de frases y descripciones conmovedoras.
