He fought for the light.

You’ll wonder who cast the shadows.

In The Temporal Scythe, the final battle between light and shadow unfolds as the Megaverse stands on the brink of collapse. Liam and his friends venture into Tartarus, searching for the Temporal Scythe—the one hope to repair a broken timeline and stop the rise of darkness.

But as the war intensifies, the boundaries between good and evil begin to blur. Who is truly on the right side? And as the weight of destiny presses down, the cost of fulfilling the prophecy may be more than anyone is willing to pay.

Liam Hale is certain of his cause, but the deeper they go, the more ambiguous the outcome becomes, leaving readers questioning the boundaries of the two sides of the same coin.

Will the prophecy be fulfilled, or will everything be lost? 

The fate of the Megaverse hangs in the balance, and the true nature of light and shadow is yet to be revealed.
