After the fall from the Maaldan cliff, Chalice is reunited with her friends on a journey that takes them to the coastline of Ielieria. Little do Vlaad and his Fierain know what is in store for them as, bit by bit, their plans are thwarted by this blond-haired, blue-eyed beauty.
The small band of rebels then travels across the Realm, preparing it for war, while Chalice herself is brewing plans of her own that may just land her in the hot seat. What will happen when she returns her father to the throne? What will happen when he finds out what she has done? And ... what will happen once Dar'Maalda learns of the rebels' location?
In the third and final novel of the trilogy, The Legend of the Raie'Chaelia, you find out. It is a dramatic finish to an epic story of action, adventure, betrayal, forgiveness and love.

List Favorite Raie' Chaelia Quotes:
“Logic knew nothing of human emotion. It could not tell you anything about your heart.”
The Raie’Chaelia, page 131.
“Those who believe in nothing after death are confusing their experiences in the physical world with that of the spiritual world. If we lose our connection to others, or our connection to the land, we feel alone, or cut off, and our souls experience that which we call the nothingness, or the emptiness.”
The Raie’Chaelia, page 277
“Jeremiah paused, groping for the right words. “I view her in much the same way that the Terravail view the land. I do not own her. I belong to her.””
The Firelight of Maalda, page 221.
“What was it about the heart? It was so unlike her body. Her body, she could protect. With her body, she could fight. She could destroy an enemy swiftly without fear or scruple. But her heart was something so completely different. It was like a newborn baby: vulnerable, dependent, trusting. Anyone who held her heart the way he did, held a terrifying power over her. If he wanted to, he could crush her mercilessly and there was nothing she could do about it.”
The Return, page 107.
““Jeremiah, stop! What’s wrong with you?” she said, turning him around to face her and looking directly into his eyes. “I’m not homeless. I’ll never be homeless. You are my home. Wherever you are, that is where my home is.””
The Return, page 311.
