I pushed past him and jumped. One thing I now knew with absolute certainty: it had been inevitable from the very beginning. After Elaine lost not only her powers but also Bale, everything is on the verge of falling apart. The army of the Red Storm continues to advance, and the peaceful world that Elaine has dreamed of seems to be slipping further away. But when Elaine suddenly comes face to face with Bale in occupied São Paulo, hope begins to blossom within her: perhaps she can still save the boy she loves. For Elaine knows: only together can they protect the primal vortex. Only together can they travel deep into the past. To where it all began. The breathtaking finale of the Vortex Trilogy.
