About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is wrestling with the blurred lines between right and wrong, particularly when family expectations or legacies feel like a heavy burden. It is an ideal choice for the child who is maturing into the realization that their mentors and elders are flawed, complicated human beings. The story follows Sky and Kristin as they use ancient rune magic and time travel to stop their grandfather, Sigurd, a man who has the terrifying power to possess others. To defeat him, they must journey into the past to face witch-finders and accused witches, all while fearing they might become the very thing they are fighting against. This finale to the Runestone Saga deals with heavy themes of mortality, the ethics of power, and the necessity of death in the natural cycle of life. It is most appropriate for readers aged 12 and up who enjoy historical depth mixed with high stakes fantasy.
