Using her skills as a ranger she will travel across the bitter cold tundra and gain the allegiance of the only other force strong enough to take down the invaders.

Winning the upcoming Battle of the Bands would justify all the band’s compromises and reassure Sammy that his life’s dream could become a reality. But practices are hard to schedule when Sammy’s grandfather is sick and getting worse, his mother is too busy to help either of them, and his best friend may want to be his girlfriend. When everything in Sammy’s life seems to be headed for major catastrophe, will his music be enough to keep him together?

Rood geniet ondertussen van zijn rol als keizerlijke spion. Misschien zelfs een beetje te veel. Maar zijn loyaliteit zal op de proef worden gesteld als zijn leidinggevende, vrouwe Hempist, hem eindelijk de missie toebedeelt waar hij al zo lang om heeft gesmeekt: Hope en Brigga Lin rekruteren om hem te helpen het keizerrijk eens en voor altijd te ontdoen van de biospinners. Het lot bracht ze samen... maar zal het hun keizerrijk vernietigen? In deze spannende finale van Jon Skovrons avontuurlijke fantasyreeks moeten twee jonge mensen, in een gebroken keizerrijk verspreid over wilde zeeën, een manier vinden om hun volk bijeen te houden.
