The forest is ablaze and Cleo's army is on the move, but that's not the worst of it. A new monster, the Dark Koponya, has stepped through the portal and threatens all life as they know it. Askari's life might not be easy, but at least she and many others have managed to find enough security to stay alive despite the monsters who plague the land. But now, the small peace they've found hangs in the balance. Askari has barely had a chance to warn the human warriors of the new enemy they face, when she is captured in the forest and dragged off to meet the Dark Koponya. With the world afire and only Polly and Logan for support, Askari sees only one way to potentially rescue the world from the clutches of the Dark Koponya. She doesn't want to do it, but she's the only one who can. And as far as she can tell, it's the only option they have left. This action-packed finale of the Land of Szornyek series is filled with adventure, action, and excitement.
