In the darkest hour, a hero shall arise... but surrounded by betrayal
and pain, he may bring about the very destruction he is fighting to
prevent!
It is the beginning of the end...
The end of the axe-age, the
sword-age, leading to the passing of gods and men from the universe.
As
all the ancient prophecies fall into place, the final battle rages, on
Earth, across Faerie, and into the land of the dead.
Jack Churchill,
Champion of Existence, must lead the Brothers and Sisters of Dragons in
a last, desperate assault on the Fortress of the Enemy, to confront the
ultimate incarnation of destruction: the Burning Man. It is humanity's
only chance to avert the coming extinction.
At his back is an army of
gods culled from the world's great mythologies – Greek, Norse, Chinese,
Aztec, and more. But will even that be enough? Driven to the brink by
betrayal, sacrifice and death, his allies fear Jack may instead bring
about the very devastation he is trying to prevent...
