To add to his troubles, he recently learned Grossard survived the collapse of the chantry and is more resolved than ever to destroy his family and the high realm. The evil monster might actually succeed this time too, for Mordred, an old adversary of the light, has joined forces with Grossard and together they plan to retrieve the Shard of Erebus and unleash the power of the God of Darkness over the earth.
Deston knows in his heart he isn’t equipped to take on a powerful sorcerer and an evil faerie, but destiny waits for no one, not even the secret Prince of Tir na-nÓg. So ready or not, he heads out on a new epic adventure to locate and destroy the Shard before Grossard and Mordred can get to it, with only his dreams to guide him and Margaux to help him figure out the clues. He's fully aware the stakes are higher than ever, but he has no idea the sacrifices he’ll be required to make.
As his world crumbles around him and his friends fall, he hangs onto one glimmer of hope—that the fae strength and power truly does reside within him; and that he can actually become the hero the fae claim him to be.
