Going Forth by Day: The Order of the Four Sons, Book VI

“Our world is a lie.”

On Cerulean, the war between the Order and Starry Wisdom has turned into a standoff. Since Starry Wisdom has begun to deploy chemical weapons, Commander Emily Hayes is no longer able to send teams in to attack Starry Wisdom targets. Starry Wisdom, despite having taken Colonel JD Garnett and the Oracle Alyssa Calderon prisoner, are unable to proceed with their plans—they still do not have the fourth segment of the Staff of Solomon. Can the geomancers find a solution to counteract the enemy’s poison gas before Starry Wisdom manufactures a new segment? Or can the team come up with a new plan?

In Corbenic, things seem to have returned to normal for now, though Prince Leopold faces pressure from his father to marry. In Carcosa, things are looking more dire than ever, even with the harsh but capable MJ-12 Agent Aaron Vickers as the new boss of the five towns. Aid comes in the form of some unexpected allies. And back on Earth, things are also looking pretty apocalyptic—the sort of cosmic entropy that has affected Carcosa for decades seems to be leaking into Earth. Time and reality are starting to warp. The Order’s construct, the Field of St. Matthew, is in danger of collapsing, or worse.

Four worlds hang in the balance—the fate of four worlds may determine the fate of all others. Synchronicities abound, the multiverse works in mysterious ways, and help can come when you least expect it.

Read the exciting conclusion to The Order of the Four Sons series, thirteen years in the making.
