Publisher's Synopsis
The long awaited addition to the Pinehurst series has arrived . . . as well as the answer to Evie's ever pondering question: "Could things possibly get any worse?" The answer: YES THEY CAN, and do!
With her father cured, midnight trips to Hades, and the threat of Heaven and Hell colliding, Evie is sent back to Pinehurst to continue school work of all things--as if! All is not well at the school of magic. Ms. Leech has a continual scrutinizing eye on Evie, Havoc and Chaos are creating just that, and Antonio is head strong on trying to convince Evie that he is the answer to her troubles; all the while noting that Hades is becoming more dear to Evie's heart day by day. Meanwhile, Iris is coming out of her shell, Stacey brings new meaning to the word oblivious, and Roland, the creep, Vandenburg, is forever and faithfully a continual ass. To add icing to the teetering cake, Dylan, AKA Nightmares, arrives at Pinehurst to torment Evie, as the insanely good looking new bad-boy student from Hoffmyer. A 10+ on Gillian's hot-o-meter, and to Evie's dismay, the instant apple of everyone's eye. Not one student or teacher has clued in to the unequivocal evil that is his very being; not even when one of their own is gruesomely lost. The series takes a dramatic turn, casting Evie as the literal epicenter to an impending war to end all wars. Worlds and what was believed myth collide, each vying for control, and each dependent on one thing: The Child of Light. Evie's heart and friendships are tested, lies and schemes are uncovered, family secrets are revealed, and promises are made. Evie is faced with an unexpected choice that will alter perhaps what even the One True Deity had planned, propelling all onto a course that none expected.
