It is 2 and a half years after Gregor and Lizzie have returned from the underland, but their family is still in New York City. Dreams of giant rats and falling to his death still bothers Gregor from time to time, and he isn't improving as a student of the overland. One day, he receives word of a mysterious new prophecy concerning him, which predicts certain doom if certain measures are not taken. A bloody battle ensues, but they fail to unravel the most delusive stanza of the prophecy. Will they survive? *This cover's background picture is the copyright property of MrWallpaper.com*

Four years later, Gregor returns - only to find the Underland on the brink of collapse. A fragile peace, a growing food shortage, and unresolved tensions between the races threaten the future of a world already hanging by a thread. Together with his friends, Gregor must find a solution - fast - or the Underland will be lost for good. Not that danger is anything new for Gregor. But this time, the greatest conflict isn't one he expected: It's the battle within himself. The "real" finale to the Underland Chronicles. Not written by Suzanne Collins - who concluded the saga with Book Five - but created to give fans the ending they deserve.
