After thousands of years, the Fifth Axis-the primal force of Creation and Beginnings-has been Forged. But now Aron, the newly minted Adherent of the Fifth, goes on a spree of destructive and dangerous Creation, starting unstoppable storms, earthquakes, and other disasters. Daniel Scratch, Adherent of the Sixth Axis of Death and Endings, must stop him. But Daniel's own powers have become erratic and unreliable, leaving him breathlessly traveling the world in an attempt to stop Aron, discover his motivations, and protect the world. This epic conclusion to the Adherents of the Axes trilogy will have Daniel questioning everything he's ever known about power, responsibility, magic, and even the world in which he lives.
