The story that started with Escape to Challenge continues in Poison, the eighth book of the Moondark Saga.
Gan and the people of the Three Territories struggle to prepare for the looming war. Leclerc’s inventions may give them a chance at survival, but the seemingly magical devices are making people nervous. Gan needs the support of his allies now more than ever, but poisonous deceit is taking root in his own castle, worming its way into the hearts of his most loyal friends.
All the while, Tate and Conway set out on a journey back to the crèche, nestled deep in the Enemy Mountains. They know they must find the ammunition stashed away in the cave, for without it their friends stand little chance of surviving the coming war. More importantly, they must arrive before Moonpriest, if they are to prevent the weapons from falling into dangerous hands.
