This companion book to The Seer and the Sword follows four teens as they attempt to keep the villains from destroying the Boundary that prevents the Shadow King from taking over the world. The complex and convoluted plot has some holes, and there are too many primary characters, both good and evil. Even so, the fantasy adventure contains enough intriguing elements and exciting twists to satisfy readers.
