Nightchild — James Barclay

It all began with a tidal wave...A new power is coming that will sweep aside the four colleges of magic-a power manifested in four-year-old Lyanna. If, unknowing, she unleashes her full force, she will destroy the land of Balaia. With freak storms already battering the continent, it's clear she is already wreaking havoc on the mana flows holding the fabric of the world together. Must she be stopped? Should she be helped? Once again, five years after they saved Balaia by sealing the rip in the dragon dimension, the Raven must gather to face an agonizing, heartbreaking mission. Can they kill a child? Can they afford not to? Their dilemma will pit friend against friend, father against mother, Raven against Raven.
