In the world of the legendary, every myth and folktale is real. That is what Oliver Bascombe learned on the other side of the Veil, where humanity's legends have hidden away for centuries. But even legends have legends, and Oliver has learned of a prophecy that many believe he and his sister, Collette, have come to the Two Kingdoms to fulfill. Before they can discover the truth, the Bascombe siblings must help to stop an apocalyptic war that threatens to destroy the Two Kingdoms, unravel a conspiracy, and prevent a powerful sorcerer from severing the world of humans from the realm of the legendary forever.
But first Oliver will have to plot an escape from an impregnable palace dungeon where he and his allies have been imprisoned . . . for regicide.
As old heroes and friends ally themselves for one last battle, even older enemies stand arrayed against them. Is humanity ready to face its legends head-on? For Oliver Bascombe, the price may be dearer than even he could ever imagine.

Stoker-winner Golden concludes his Veil series (following 2007's The Borderkind) with a battle of mythic proportions between King Hunyadi of Euphrasia and the twisted Atlanteans, who have deliberately destroyed the ancient truce between Euphrasia and Yucatazca. After Oliver Bascombe is tricked into killing the king of Yucatazca with King Hunyadi's sword, he must free himself, his sister, Collette, and his fiancée, Julianna Whitney, from the royal dungeon. Collette and the myth-creature Frost head to Euphrasia, while Oliver and Julianna persuade legendary beings to fight for King Hunyadi. Before the final confrontation, however, Oliver realizes that he must make a daring and dangerous raid on Atlantis itself. The run-of-the-mill epic plot, fueled by Oliver and Collette's seemingly unlimited and mostly unexplained magical powers, leaves little doubt as to the outcome of their undertakings.
