Reality is losing stability. The Bay Bridge disappears, causing cars crossing it to fall into the sea; a cave lion from the Stone Age finds itself in our time; Napoleon's army appears in Damascus in the 1930s... And this is just the beginning. The quaestors, as the ley travelers call themselves, have scattered around the world. Mina is stuck in an eerie cold world with a cave lion; Clark and Gianni follow the catastrophic slowdown in the expansion of the universe and reflect on the prospects for humanity. The Earl of Burley languishes in a dark underground dungeon - his only hope for survival is the very man he tried to kill. Keith and Cass were able to return to the Stone Age. But on the way to the Well of Souls a huge yew grew, preventing the portal from being used. A solution is needed, or the universe will face the End of Everything. In the final volume of the fantasy series Light Empires, Stephen R. Lawhead brings a multi-layered story to a stunning conclusion.
