John hatches a desperate plan that lands him in the middle of a battle while Kahlil takes on a final mission... When John opens a letter addressed to his missing room-mate, Kyle, he expects to find a house key, but instead he is swept into a strange realm of magic, mysticism, revolutionaries and assassins. Though he struggles to escape, John is drawn steadily closer to a fate he share with Kyle—to wake the destroyer god, the Rifter, and shatter a world.
