The Order

Unwelcome Fate

The air of the chamber whispered behind me and an accustomed power touched mine. Anger rose against her as I felt my jaw tighten on its own in response to her arrival. The last time I’d seen her she’d betrayed me. I didn’t get up, didn’t even look at her as Fate waited for my attention.

Syd’s back home and it’s business as usual as she, her son and the drach leader do their best to track down the rest of Creator’s statue before it’s too late. But, when Max reveals to Syd doing so might not be in the Universe’s best interest after all, she’s confronted with a choice: continue on or become the Doombringer everyone believes she is. The only problem? In order to proceed with her task she must finally face the terror that haunts her—Dark Brother and his powerful army.
