Helena has come far from the day she became custodian of Abernathy's, the world's only living oracle. Now, she faces her greatest challenge yet: the oracle's prediction that it, and she, will end.

With time running out, and her allies falling one after another, Helena faces the terrifying possibility that saving the world will mean her death.
