Book 4 of the Prism Series 'The wood can be misleading....' And so, it seems, can all who live in the wood at the edge of the world. Having returned at last from Phantism, Rabbit, Rupert, Aden and Jasper find that Prism has become a land of war and desolation. Annihilo's ugly gray stain now arches across the sky as he attempts to join forces with his son, Addreadon, in a final battle against the Alellii. Together they seek to stretch their power to the furthest reaches of the cosmos, tearing the stars from the heavens and consuming the entire universe. With determination - and some relief - the four of the Quest enter the seemingly beautiful wood in search of the last crystal quadrant, whose return will surely bring down Annihilo and restore peace to the land.
