Attacked by countless, dark forces of the Dragon, Seth and his companions begin to lose hope as they try to make it to the palace alive. Kinsey has been kidnapped, taken deep into the soulless regions of the Land of the Dragon, and the harshness of Mother Nature begins to take its toll.
Still, there is no sign of Ben, and the boys are left to fend for themselves while the darkness gathers. In Ellishome, the town is undergoing a siege, turning into a graveyard, and there's nothing Sheriff Bimsley can do to stop it. Seth is now the Bearer of the Black Sword, a weapon of extreme power. The land they've wandered into is darker and more dangerous than they imagined, and the remaining companions wonder if they'll ever make it back alive. But the final showdown between Ben and his Immortal Companion draws ever near. The fate of many will be decided in a hand-to-hand combat, shaking the very foundations of the cosmos.
