The Harbinger

The end has finally come for Barnabas Locke. Three months after the devastation unleashed by Ifrit, Barnabas is barely holding himself together. Nightmares stalk his sleep, guilt gnaws at his waking hours, and the world he once trusted now feels paper-thin and unreal. Judith tries to keep him grounded, but Barnabas can't shake the truth he feels in his bones: someone unknown has orchestrated everything. Someone powerful. Someone still out there. When a strange clue surfaces in the Hobs End Gazette, Barnabas is thrust back into the game he swore to abandon. A local author, a book of maritime mysteries, and a trail of impossible coincidences pull Barnabas and Judith toward answers they may not survive. As reality frays and old allies return, Barnabas must confront the terrifying possibility that the mastermind behind their suffering has been watching them from the very beginning. The Harbinger is the explosive fourth and final chapter of The Chronicles of Barnabas Locke: a tale of angels, demons, guilt, love, and the cost of knowing the truth. Suitable for young adults of 14 years and older.
