Synopsis
Ros is finally heading out of the desert, making for the coast with Adi and Know-it-All the camel, hoping to drop the crystal that holds the Golem of Omus to the bottom of the ocean. In Samini, a small town on the edge of the Strand, they meet Quirk, who tells them outrageous stories about Ros’s heroic adventures. When they use the Change to track down Varis, they come up against the Scarecrow, a lethal blend of man and material who will do anything to get his hands on the power in the crystal Ros carries. The final book of the Broken Land trilogy brings Ros’s journey to its end.
