All good things must come to an end...

But what of that which is evil, murderous and fills your nightmares to the brim? Must that come to an end too?

Winter in Garrim is a thing best avoided, except the devious governor Jackson has headed there with the book that has the key to the Simbrian bound in its pages and if Frank, Gabby, Cas and Anya wish to finish what they started the have no choice but to follow.

The filthy streets and alleyways that deal only in threats and violence and misery with bother lurking on every corner would be enough to put most people off without the added spice of the most dangerous person in the world awaiting them.

After two years of dodging death, there is just one glimmer of hope - the final guardian is still out there somewhere, the last chance of maintaining the fragile peace that has lasted for centuries and the only person that stands in the way of Etamin Dahke and her savage henchman, Dagmar Dag in their bid for true power.

The question remains - can they be found before the world is cast into a darkness from which there will be no return?

As the struggle to possess the Simbrian twists and turns towards its gripping and jaw-dropping finale, this thrilling, final instalment of the Frank Penny series will throw up secrets from the shadows, where putting your trust in anyone is the toughest test as Frank and his friends try one last, desperate time, to keep the world from falling into Etamin's ruthless hands.
