Publisher's Synopsis
Trith, Circle, Zranh, Raith, Death With those enigmatic words from the Black Manuscript, Sid begins his journey to the Trith Nation where he hopes to find clues to help him regain his power of Numbers. He is joined by Crowdal, who agrees to take Sid and his friends back to his home, a place he does not want to go. But to get there they must travel through the dangerous and unexplored lands of the north where there are things that are better left undisturbed. A half a continent away, Melinda must learn to control the time-shifting powers of the Zranh that flow through her and come to terms with her destiny before she can reunite with Sid, Crowdal and her other friends. A young Fahrin Druin named Drax is chosen by an ancient master of Numbers and is given unimaginable powers to do one thing - search for and destroy the Aleph Null. And Tris, the supremely powerful Black Robe of the Oblate, has had the Black Numbers inside him since he ripped them from Sid in the Srithian Wood, but he cannot control them. So he uses the unlimited resources of the Oblate to recruit armies from three of the most powerful kingdoms in the land to hunt and capture Sid so he can finish tearing his old friend's mind apart for the secret to the Black Numbers. Can Sid figure out the meaning behind the strange words inside the Black Manuscript and regain his power of Numbers before it is too late? Join Sid and his friends on another non-stop adventure into the unknown.
