THE AGE OF DARKNESS APPROACHES. FIVE LIVES STAND IN ITS WAY. WHO WILL STOP IT . . . OR UNLEASH IT?<br/><br/><br/>For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations - until they disappeared, one hundred years ago.<br/><br/>But they left behind one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As a dark new power begins to make war on the magically gifted, five souls are set on a collision course that will determine the fate of their world:<br/><br/>A prince exiled from his kingdom<br/>A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand<br/>A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart<br/>A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone<br/>And a dying girl on the verge of giving up<br/><br/>One of them - or all of them - could break the world. Will they be saviour or destroyer?<br/><br/><br/><br/>
