Publisher Description
The magical Tide has turned and the Immortal Lords once again have their full power. The Immortal Lord Cayal welcomes this power as a means to an end--his end, preferably. Cayal has wanted to cease his existence for longer than human history and it looks like he might finally get his wish. Rumors swirl that the Chaos Crystal, the mysterious prism that brought the Immortals to the world, has been found. Cayal is determined to seize the gem.
Among those who search for this long-lost object is Cayal's former lover, the very mortal Lady Arkady. She's been captured by Jaxyn, a Tide Lord who is decidedly against Cayal and is seeking the Crystal for his own nefarious schemes. Arkady escapes, and is off on her desperate search…for if the gem falls into the hands of the Immortals, what will become of humanity?
The stakes are high, with mortal and immortal fighting to grasp this ultimate prize. Whoever holds the Crystal can decide the fate of the world.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In the previous three Tide Lords novels, protagonist Arkady Desean has sold herself into a loveless marriage in an attempt to save her father, fallen in love with the immortal prince Cayal only to find out that he's shallow and selfish, been sold into slavery, and escaped. This grim concluding volume puts Arkady in yet more peril but never manages to be as emotionally gripping as the previous installments. The immortal Tide Lords, most of whom are either bored or self-serving to the point of caricature, are once more engaged in their petty power struggles. It's left to Arkady and resistance leader Declan Hawkes to keep the world from ending up as collateral damage. An abrupt and brutal ending will shock even those fans who love Fallon's work for its unstinting darkness and cynicism.
