Sometimes beauty is the most deadly danger of all...
Before the Tempest comes The Rage, and it will have its day.
It's
Christmas-time, and Finmere Tingewick Smith – Fin to his friends – is
back in Orrery House for the holidays. He has Christopher, one of his
two best friends, with him: they're there for the Initiation of the new
Knights of Nowhere. Both boys have tried to find some normalcy after
their recent adventures, but they're badly missing Joe, who's stuck in
the Nowhere, guarding the two of the Five Eternal Stories that weave all the worlds together; they're held inside his own body.
In the
Somewhere, Christmas is a time of glad tidings and gifts and goodwill,
Christmas trees, carols and the celebration of good things. But there is no Christmas in the Nowhere, and in both worlds, things are not as
settled as they look. In the shadows Justin Arnold-Mather is getting ready to make his move.
In the Nowhere, something is moving through
the streets, attacking people – random victims – and leaving them mad
and disfigured. And in Orrery House, a tiny crack has appeared in the
Prophecy table.
The Prophecy is coming alive. The battle lines will
be drawn between even the closest of friends, for the fight is on.
The Dark King is rising.
