For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations - until the day, 100 years ago, when the Prophets disappeared. All they left behind was 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. Five souls are on a collision course: A prince exiled from his kingdom. A ruthless killer. A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart. A reckless gambler. And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.

But a new lead in her mother’s case makes Marlow realize that the only way to get the answers she desperately seeks is to help Adrius.
