Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
The digressive third volume in Williams's Books of the Cataclysm series (after 2006's The Blood Debt), set on a far-future Earth, propels its heroes on a perilous quest, while something "dark and dangerous" grows in the mountains. Rather than push toward the source of the postapocalyptic flood that swept through the crack in the Earth called the Divide, Marmion, a dedicated Sky Warden, and his traveling companions are forced to detour into the forest to prevent a needless interspecies war between the human foresters of Milang and the beastlike beings known as the Panic. On a separate journey, the twins Hadrian and Seth (both contained in the body of a Homunculus), and tracker Habryn Kail engage in portentous expository discussion. This entry feels like an unnecessary, if enjoyable, diversion from the main story line. Hopefully, the projected fourth and final installment will pull everything together into a coherent whole. (June)

Product Description
Ancient enemies stalk ghostly fog forests as legends come to life. The Divide is flooded. Habryn Kail and the Homunculus are missing, presumed dead. Sal and his companions seek the source of the flood in the legendary Hanging Mountains, hoping to head off a crisis that was put in motion a thousand years ago. As conflict erupts between two long-forgotten civilizations, the outsiders find that allies are hard to come by. Taken captive and separated, they uncover uncomfortable truths about the world and how it relates to the one that came before--our world. Something dark and deadly is stirring in the heart of the mountains. And the closer it comes to waking, the more certain it seems the Homunculus may not have been the enemy at all.
