When portals go wrong, survival becomes everything.
Nathan's desperate portal jump scatters his team across hostile territory. Alone in a remote forest with demons and vampires closing in, he discovers truths that shatter everything he believed about his world.
His friends made it out. He didn't.
Now Serena, William, Amara, Seth, and Ben face an impossible choice: abandon Nathan to save themselves, or risk everything in a rescue that could destroy them all.
Meanwhile, Nathan fights to survive in enemy territory, questioning allies, enemies, and everything his grandfather’s lessons taught him. The deeper he goes, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Time is running out. The rebellion grows stronger. And somewhere in the wilderness, Nathan faces horrors that will either forge him into the master weaver he needs to become—or break him completely.
Some bonds can't be severed. Others shouldn't be trusted.
In this war, even blood ties can be deadly.
The Old Blood Saga continues—sometimes the most dangerous truths are the ones your family never told you.

Adored this book. Really enjoyed the pace change around the half way mark… could not put it down. Was pleasantly surprised at the character development of some which was good (don’t want to say too much in case it’s a spoiler for some). Cannot wait for books 5 and 6!
This series is very much padded out to stretch the plot to fill the pages. Lots of repeated phrases and emotional psychobabel, lots of needing to process and blokes checking on each others feelings! The book needs a good editor . Skipped chunks to move the action on. Weird how explanations are continuously avoided as everyone has to dash off somewhere.
This book got a little darker and more intense as the story unties its self in one area the knots get tighter in another. I am loving the complexities of this series. Bring on the next one
