Publisher's Synopsis
Sharma stands on the precipice of destruction as Gavendara's army of shapeshifters surges towards the Valantian mountains. A mutant invasion leaving terror and death in its wake, whose victims rise again swelling its ranks. Yet still the Synod dithers, as its leaders plot and scheme against each other. Jaedin a fugitive; Bryna's powers waning; Rivan grappling with the consequences of his resurrection, as well as the ominous entity that now lives beneath his skin; Miles, torn between loyalties, facing an impossible choice that could reshape the fate of nations. Meanwhile, to the east, Elita seeks sanctuary within the enigmatic depths of Babua's jungle. The people who dwell there are distrustful of her, for a good reason. She indeed has secrets, and it seems that trouble has followed her.
