Devastating conclusion to "The Mercian Trilogy", as the vampire's
destiny is finally revealed.
I am pestilence and plague, war and
turmoil. I am what you fear when the night is dark, I am the shiver you
feel in your spine when you least expect it. I am the dreams from which
you awake full of dread. I am the dreams from which one day you fear you will never wake at all. I am death, and you will know me soon enough.
The sorcerer Wyndham is set to destroy Will before he can achieve his
destiny, but the bigger challenge facing the vampire Earl of Mercia is
finding a way through the maze of prophecies laid down for him, to a
future that is good. As the barriers to the underworld fall around him,
only one thing is clear - the choices will not be easy for Will, or for
Eloise...
