Synopsis
In a glacial lake at the top of the world, salvation and destruction are waiting. Haunted by a ghost from the future, Shilly and her man’kin allies are drawn into the snowbound mountains on a mission to save it, while Yod, the being trapped in the Void Beneath by the Castillo twins, may at last be breaking free. Close behind Shilly come Sal and his father, together with an uneasy alliance of Sky Wardens, Panic and foresters. The final volume of the Books of the Cataclysm brings the long story of Sal, Shilly and the world of the Change to its end.
