Illustrated by
Scott Fischer.
In their final year of magic school, Call and his friends must confront the history of the Enemy of Death, the ancient soul trapped in Call's body. Multiple long-running story lines are resolved as well, sometimes to the detriment of pacing. Outstanding action sequences are satisfying, but the abrupt ending is disappointing.
