Water corrodes flesh. Civilization teeters on the brink. And one man must face a darkness no one else can survive. Prince Geo Woodman, crowned Prince of the Silkers, must defend the devastated city of Torono against Emperor Han the Great and his unstoppable army. As Han's forces tear through the land, Geo's army is outnumbered, outmatched, and facing annihilation. Meanwhile, Princess Bree uncovers the terrifying power of the journeying children, humans capable of teleporting across continents and even into space, whose abilities may hold the key to humanity's survival...or its ultimate destruction. With every strike of Han's army, the stakes rise.

Reviews

""This installment shuffles engaging characters and subplots, from a young man leaving his village and getting caught up with drug dealers to a mysterious sickness showing no signs of slowing down. The narrative threads all intersect in some capacity by the end, with Han's army remaining an ever-present menace. The author, who excels at crafting gleefully bizarre images, doesn't disappoint here: there is a colossal stag beetle, Dreams and Nightmares cocoon themselves, and even the general landscape makes an impression. The gratifying final act offers a worthy resolution with just a hint as to the direction a sequel might take. Engaging characters spearhead a vastly entertaining cross-genre tale."" - Kirkus Reviews ""The action hums from the start, culminating with a heart-pounding battle that will require an equal mix of cunning and bravery to save humankind and start over again. Gurgu leaves readers with the tantalizing promise of a new civilization, one born not of power and desperation but of freedom and hope. Riveting apocalyptic fight to preserve humankind."" - BookLife
