Earth has ascended . . . Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life—and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. The world teeters on the precipice between salvation . . . and damnation. With the anomaly in control of one of...

Will Grayson knew he would probably live to see the end of the world, with the way things have been going—he just didn't think he'd live through it, let alone with an insufferable git by his side. Hiking in the Peak District at the moment Earth is—accidentally—infused with magic and thrown into an indifferent and muddled system, Will returns to his Derbyshire village to find a ghost town.

Will's made Ezekiel a promise he intends to keep. Will may have promised to find the woman he loves, but first, he's going to look for Moira, the woman who changed Ezekiel's life. Delivering a letter in an apocalypse? Certainly not the strangest thing Will's decided to do since the ascension began.

With comrades at his side, Will ventures deeper into the unknown. Tunnels that shouldn't exist stretch out beneath Kirkstall Abbey, descending into the earth until the sun is a distant memory. Hundreds have ventured into the depths, supposedly seeking sanctuary. Only one has escaped. Will and his friends find evidence of scores of others—clothing left in pristine arrangements with no corpses to be seen. Terrors howl up from the abyss at every turn, and only the occasional survivor, torn by trauma and the incessant dark, hints at the horrors still awaiting in the deep.

All Calum Green wants is to reach what remains of his family. Ninety miles of the Scottish Highlands stand between Calum and his family home in coastal Oban. He does not want to make that trek with his cheating ex-girlfriend's bestie at his side. Eilidh MacIntosh has always disliked Calum, and now she's armed with a bloody claymore on top of her haughty disdain. But the ascension directive is clear: humans cannot survive this new world alone—and this pair makes an annoyingly good team.

Argyll is full of danger. With Eilidh loose on her own in the countryside, Calum and his friends are always one step behind on her trail. They don't know her route, only that Lord Sackington's people have murdered the team sent to rescue vulnerable refugees.

Earth's ascension continues, and Calum and Eilidh are on the trail of the corruption that has claimed their friend. With their community in Oban growing in leaps and bounds—and their new ability to travel to waypoints beyond—everything should feel more stable. But as their friend's condition worsens and new threats rear their heads to the south, time is ticking.

Magic tears through an unsuspecting planet of humans, bringing mythology and monsters to life-and providing humanity a chance to prove their mettle. Anomalies won't stop coming. With the community of Oban researching to the best of their ability, the ever-changing landscape only provides new challenges. The ascension has remade Oban, and the people are thriving, but Calum knows that can't last when new threats are born every day. Dangers in the sea to the west. Anomalies overland from the south. Every additional ally brings news of encroaching dangers.
