A spreading darkness, a final prophecy, and one last chance to live ... or die. In his desperate bid to find answers of his own, Cassius Longinus-the ancient Child of Rome-released the killing darkness upon the world. A betrayal by Julia and Dom's strongest ally and dearest friend, Ronan-who falls into Cassius' ranks and advances the Sorcerer's gruesome experiments-leaves the future looking more uncertain than ever for the Sovereign and the World Ruler. Now on the run and isolated from their tight group of loyal allies, Julia and Dom must somehow pick up the pieces of their shattered trust, reconnect with their remaining friends, and together work to unravel the mysteries of the Otherworld's most recent and worrisome portent-all while searching for a new path to end the darkness. *** The World Ruler seeks a priceless gift, the Sovereign's legacy as foretold. Darkness wields a steady foothold, should only two destroy the throne. *** Severance of the Sorcerer is the final installment of The Lost Wells Trilogy.
