"Sunrise and sunset may appear the same at first glance, but to be wise, you must be able to tell whether you're at the beginning or the end." With their enemy ascendant, the Outcasts find themselves questioning whether the world is even worth saving. But what if magic could dwell in unexpected places? Or be wielded by unexpected creatures? In a story filled with page-turning suspense and non-stop action, Chuck Abdella brings a satisfying close to his series with contemporary themes woven into the fabric of an exotic fantasy world. There is beauty in the struggle, even if it's hopeless. And no matter what forces may be arrayed against us, the power of friendship endures. For beneath an ocean of darkness, there is always a flicker of hope.
