Legend has it that there is a way to end the conflict once and for all: find the Firebird, a mythical entity believed to possess power the likes of which the world has never seenIt will be no easy task, but if life as a thief has taught Echo anything, it''s how to hunt down what she wants . . . and how to take it.
