The authorities are dead, the allies fractured, Alex and Ira divided, Argon is mortally wounded.
There is no denying it now - they are at war.
There is no going back; any hope of a truce is off the table and Alex is to blame.
However, determined to end the war once and for all, one way or another, Alex, Ira and their allies are forced to cast grievances aside.
And, unfortunately, they need Argon. In order to destroy the First, they need to work together.
However, in order to destroy the First, Alex is forced to go further than ever before - perhaps too far this time.
But, if the Midnight Children defeat the First what will become of them? Is it a chance they must take for the sake of the clans? Should they risk their lives and become the sacrifice the prophecy promised?
Or, does Argon have something else in store?
