A world on the verge of war, the people divided, a demon in the midst, a loved one in the crosshairs, and a hero struggling for a solution that seems impossible. Threats are being made by an unknown source, the Guardians are as cryptic as ever, and someone close to Kari is in the crosshairs of the demon stalking her. Lives are in the balance now, the city-dwellers are growing increasingly agitated, and the villagers aren't prepared. Even the precautions of Kari's crew weren't enough this time. No matter how hard Kari searches for answers to prevent the doom looming ever closer, the answers seem to grow further away with each search. No one seems to have the answers to her questions, the stories don't add up, and something smells fishy. With the pressure mounting, Kari calls in reinforcements from across the cosmos. Kari is struggling beneath the pressure, her composure cracking. Will her loved one in the crosshairs survive an attack? Will the help she calls in be enough? Or will this finally be what breaks Kari completely? *This is book 5 in a series that must be read in order to fully understand the series of events.
