As the war with the Oracle rises, all eyes are turning to young Kye and princess Hazel for aid. The Fringe is severed in two, with scattered kingdoms declaring their allegiance to the Oracle and others standing with the disbanded Sol Alliance. Heading this movement is the mysterious coven known as the Sisters of Silver Grace. At their head sits the elusive Ember Digby, who is desperate to pull Kye and his kingdom to her side.
Anya and Jay earnestly pursue the Oracle inside the Otherworld basin. Alone and unaided, they must seek out friendship within the Neverborn people or risk the danger of the acidic Discarded jungles. Rumors of a raging killer called the Emerald Herald threaten their path, and Jay, still recovering from the Oracle's revealed secrets, hopes to regain Anya's dwindling trust. As the mystery of the Otherworld deepens, Anya's intentions are disfigured. The journey to find the Oracle is only the beginning. She will stop at nothing to restore what was taken from her.
In this installment of the World Shaker series, the fight against the Oracle comes to a final, snarling conclusion. World Shaker, Solifeer, and High Prince must cast aside their differences to rise against a common enemy. With limits being tested, a single question rises triumphant, one that will come into play for the very victory of the Fringe-can Anya trust Jay?
