Description

Vivi its me, Dara. Were doing everything we can to find you

Vivi Conway has disappeared. With Vivi taken, and forgotten by everyone but her friends, Dara is struggling to hold it together. Theyre trying everything they can, but nothing seems like enough. When Stevie, Chia and Merry reveal they have been working on a plan of their own, the friends must embark on a rescue mission that will take them far beyond the Unlands.

The time will finally come to face the villainous Arawn, and when it does the group must be ready to use their combined powers. With the help of new friends and old, they set out to find Vivi, defeat their ancient foe, and save the world (no pressure).
