Avery Victoria Spencer has returned from her first incredible inner journey in glorious triumph. Her despair over her financial woes has vanished—her incredible debts are also resolved into an impressive bank balance and a beautifully-bound book retelling her story arrived immediately after she woke up from her dream as if to tell her it came from someplace real.
As a result, Avery expects to return to her life more vibrantly energized and enthusiastic about her role as bank president and societal maven—even if no one likes her all that much. She is learning to see herself in an entirely new light—amazed by what she learned from her guides on her recent quest.
Not so fast. Avery is stunned to find that her whirling dervish energy has evaporated and she can’t get it back. It’s as if something has jerked her life from fourth gear overdrive into first gear, destroying her life’s high-powered engine. It’s all she can do to get out of bed and go to work every day. At night all she wants to do is read Volume I and sleep.
As her weariness escalates, fear engulfs Avery. If she doesn’t get her life back on track soon, it will affect her career, her social standing and her sense of self.
Certain that her energy was mistakenly left behind on her first journey to her inner world, Avery asks to return in order to find it. Her wish is granted—sort of. She’s back in a castle her beloved candle, but she is shocked by how different everything feels—not at all welcoming, perhaps even evil. Skeletal soldiers vowing loyalty, counselors singing praises to need and unworthiness—how can it be? Where are her singing torches? Her wise guides? And why does she feel even worse after she arrives?
Yes, Avery is indeed weary. Her desire for pretense, her need to overachieve—these no longer exist and she can no longer pretend. Everything is at stake—even more than she can imagine. Her second journey will make her determined that it should be her last.
Yet as she braves mockery and pain, as she suffers a deep sense of unworthiness and its accompanying fear, Avery also finds her power. She will come to a pinnacle from which she must decide her fate. Will she dance with fear forever, or allow herself to fall into something she has never known?
