The Sketch Rift: The Eternal Crusade

{Book Two in the Sketch Rift Trilogy}
Samuel Lawrence, or Soal, is revolted by the mere premise of returning to the bleak metropolis of Hendera. But these hopes are laid to rest when sentinels of the enigmatic Charles Hemingway draw his reentry, and in little time, his purpose is fixed.
Hendera has long depended on the Eternal Crusade to solve their numerous ailments, much to the resentment of its conflicted leader, Count. But with the Time-Bound Thief restricted from achieving its inevitable past destiny, the Crusade has a new commander, whose twisted mind and beguiling atmosphere poisoned the wells of the Crusade's credibility. Through this character trickle the dreaded truths of an age-crossing communicator, the meaning of the Sulukridger race, and the reality of September First itself.
And when Soal and his affiliates interpret the actuality of these revelations, their findings will send them on a shocking journey across the Rift, from which there is no turning back.
ATTENTION: This is the second book in the third trilogy in the Sketch Saga, which begins with The Sketch: The Voyage of Soal.
