Book 4-
A rising army. A dying realm. A forgotten God hungry for vengeance—and Shaz is the debt to be paid.

Time is unraveling across the Timeless Plains as an ancient darkness spreads beneath the very fabric of the world. Ruin Spiders have breached the underground, their toxin threatening Serin’s family and countless others. To save them, Shaz’s companions must scatter across the realms—each facing a peril that bends the limits of magic, courage, and time itself.

Riddick and Amirra brave the Turbulent Reef, where hours stretch into days and the cure they seek is buried within shifting tides. Turkill and Ladtwig travel to the Gryphtons to claim the rare Saraswati venom, the only hope of neutralizing the spiders’ deadly poison. Meanwhile, Shaz and Serin descend into the Timeless Plains to confront the swarm at its source.

What they find is far more terrifying than spiders.

A Jaduuk army is multiplying at an unnatural pace, devouring everything in its path. As the threat spreads, old alliances awaken: the soldiers of Ebassia, the fierce Gryphtons, and the long-lost Rangers rise to stand with Shaz in a battle the realms haven’t seen in an age.

But even united, they may be too late.

Because the Jaduuk are not acting alone.
Gavin Rhill is not the hand guiding their slaughter.
And the shadows obey a new master—one far older than myth, with a grudge carved into the bones of creation.

As Shaz’s shadow magic surges, a forgotten God emerges from the void to settle the ancient feud he once had with Shaz’s ancestor. Now he intends to finish it… through Shaz.

The war for the realms has begun.
And this time, the enemy isn’t mortal.
