Imprisoned and tortured by the demoness who tricked him into betraying the Nightkeepers and the woman he loves, Rabbit must endure excruciating pain to protect the diminished Skywatch army as the end-time approaches. Although an ancient prophecy says his unique powers are key to winning the final battle in the doomsday war, he hasn't just lost his credibility--he's lost his magic. Myrinne is far from the woman Rabbit once knew--she's got magic now, and despite emotional scars, she's strong enough to help the Nightkeepers. And yet she's not prepared to handle the fiercely driven man he's become or the new, dangerous feelings that spark between them. With the barrier ready to fall and a xombi outbreak in the human world, Rabbit and Myrinne must forge a new partnership amid dangerous instability and the threat of an undead army. In the end, it will be up to Rabbit to master his ferocious magic--or all will be lost. For him, for the woman he doesn't have the right to love anymore, and for the fate of the world...

Imprisoned by the demoness who tricked him into betraying the Nightkeepers, Rabbit yearns to escape and prove himself to his fellow warriors and to Myrinne, the woman who has lost all faith in him. With the end of days rapidly approaching, Rabbit is rescued, but can the others trust him when his magic is divided and unstable? Why is he the key to winning the war and what sacrifices will the warriors have to make to ensure victory?
After the build up over the entire series toward the final battle with the Banal Kax, everything established in the first seven books is nullified and the resolution comes out of nowhere, lacks cohesion and is ultimately unsatisfying. It is as if Andersen ran out of steam and decided to wing it!
The romance is the worst in the series by far. Myrinne is and always has been an exceedingly unlikeable and selfish woman and Rabbit’s love for her is incomprehensible. That said, Rabbit is a wonderful hero and the manner in which he comes into his true powers and learns to accept himself is one of the only positive aspects of the book.
Anna’s sudden relationship with a doctor treating xombi victims comes out of nowhere and is underdeveloped. There is no foundation to their romance, no chemistry and no emotion.
The tidbits with the other Nightkeeper couples are enjoyable, but fail to compensate for the rest of the lackluster story.
All in all, a disappointing end to the series and it is a waste of exceptional world building and lore. I feel cheated. (
