Arthur stands guard at the border between the Real and Imaginary realms as a newly sworn Novitiate of the Wardens of Weirdwood. His former best friend Wally has chosen a different path. Wally teams up with his future-seeing brother Graham to tear down the barrier that separates reality from imagination. They want to build something entirely new from the wreckage. The shadowy Order of Eldar poses another threat. Led by the dangerous Eraser, they plan to unleash chaos by letting imagination's most wondrous and terrifying creatures loose in the real world. Arthur must defend everything he has sworn to protect while facing his oldest friend as an enemy. The final battle will determine whether the boundary between worlds survives or crumbles forever. This trilogy conclusion forces Arthur to choose between his duty and his past, with the fate of both realms hanging in the balance.
