In the third and final book (Seeker; Traveler), Seekers Quin, Shinobu, and John work to end the conflict among Seeker factions, channel their powers for good, and exert control over their own destinies.

Nevertheless, the scrappy, thoughtful characters and well-structured plot will keep readers invested.
