    About this series

    After thousands of years, the Fifth Axis—the primal force of Creation and Beginnings—has been Forged. But now Aron, the newly minted Adherent of the Fifth, goes on a spree of destructive and dangerous Creation, starting unstoppable storms, earthquakes, and other disasters.

     

    Daniel Scratch, Adherent of the Sixth Axis of Death and Endings, must stop him. But Daniel's own powers have become erratic and unreliable, leaving him breathlessly traveling the world in an attempt to stop Aron, discover his motivations, and protect the world.

     

    This epic conclusion to the Adherents of the Axes trilogy will have Daniel questioning everything he's ever known about power, responsibility, magic, and even the world in which he lives.

      "...Jones has created something new, compelling, beautifully written, and somewhat reminiscent of Ursula Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea (1968)...An engrossing, well-written, and original story; readers will be eager for the next installment." – Kirkus Reviews "Adult and teenage fans of thoughtful fantasy will love exploring this beautifully described world of arcane powers. This meditative look at power will engage readers who like their fantasy with a side of philosophy. Great for fans of Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book." — BookLife Review "This book is delightful! It's tickling my inner nerd somewhere at the intersection of 'Harry Potter,' 'Avatar: The Last Airbender,' and 'Skyrim,' all while being its own unique story and world." "This is a delightful story - I can't wait to dive back into this world." Thirteen year-old Daniel Scratch has been living alone for years since his parents passed, cared for by his home's tiny, elf-like brownies and his somehow-still-living great-great grandmother. But when Grandmother sends him to the village to be Tested, his life turns upside down. He's abandoned on a craggy isle, home to the Tower of Endings, and discovers he's to be the next adherent to the Sixth Axis, one of the most powerful magical forces in the world. He lives in the Tower for years, learning all the basic magics of witchkind along with the great Seven Forms of his Axis. Along the way, learns more than he ever thought possible about his people and their society, and their relationships with the far more-numerous humans of the world. His education culminates with an irreversible Choice, thrusting him into a mystery whose resolution will save all of humanity and witchkind – or doom them all to chaos and oblivion. This revised edition reflects the author's preferred version of the manuscript.

      Three years ago, Daniel Scratch ascended to become Adherent of the Sixth Axis, the primary, magical forces of Endings in the world. Since then, he's tried to use that power for the betterment of all witchkind—despite the "don't bother" attitude of the senior adherents of the other four Axes. The other junior adherents, on the other hand, are much more willing to help the rest of witchkind—especially when it comes to curtailing the humans' use of magic-draining iron.   But a critical misstep tears the Veil, the subtle, delicate magic that conceals witchkind's true nature from the humans. Human priests begin calling for a resumption of the Hunts, and the death of all witchkind.   To heal the Veil, Daniel must confront his own vulnerabilities, the millennia-old history of his predecessors, and the very nature and reason for his own birth.
