As the Norcinite world finds itself on the brink of battle, each and every person must be asked the ultimate question: Who will submit to their hatred and their fear, and who will stand up for what they know to be right? In this fast-paced fifth installment of his epic twelve-part series, "The Noricin Chronicles," Mark Sheldon mercilessly pulls his readers further into his world of mystery, riddles, and adventure as he brings us ever closer to the inexorable climax of this thrilling story.
