"You've just made yourself a target. Protect that book with your life." Convinced of the Overlord's return, Lloyd sets out to find the truth about the Elemental War. But as he walks the razor's edge with his relationship with his father, he's left with more questions than answers. Cole searches for his own answers from a certain maid and Kai looks in the library--but a sudden murder shakes the entire palace. Rumors of a spy spread and set the ninja on edge. As uncertainty leaks from every corner, Kai stumbles upon a mysterious book, where all their answers seem to be written down. But what he doesn't realize is that there are others after the book... others who would kill to get their hands on it. And with the Sons of Darkness closer than anyone realizes, it's only a matter of time before secrets unfold and chaos breaks loose. WARNING: This series contains dark themes and mature topics, such as mental health, multiple forms of abuse, death, and dark magic (nothing should be much worse in terms of maturity than what was in Darkness from Within). -------- Cover by me.
