Six years ago, something was awakened. Since then, monsters have roamed the world, cities have learned to fear the dark, and one man has searched relentlessly for the last missing piece. The world fears the monsters. It should fear the Hybrids. For six years, Axton has searched for the last one. The final piece of a mystery that began with an ancient prophecy and left entire cities living in fear. Caelyn has spent two years making sure no one finds her. Then one night, she makes a mistake. Now she is caught between a man willing to destroy the world for the past and a war that may have already chosen its ending. Because some prophecies don’t predict the future. They create it.
