Synopsis

Young wizards reunite to stop a powerful enemy from robbing the world of its magic as this YA fantasy adventure series continues.

Returning from their wizardly holiday, Nita Callaghan and Kit Rodriguez look forward to getting back to their normal routine. But there’s trouble brewing. A strange darkness is befalling older wizards across the world, stealing away their power. Soon, young wizards from Earth and beyond must join forces to stop an unimaginable invasion—and defend the very essence of wizardry itself.

To stop the evil afoot, they must first find a secret weapon promised to them by the Powers That Be. With their alien teammates, Nita, Kit, and Dairine are on a desperate search through worlds known and unknown, racing against the minions of the sinister Lone Power who are determined to find it first. And that’s only the beginning, because for the first time in millennia, the wizards are about to go to war.

If you were waiting for something to happen this series, wait no longer. This book seems to be what all the others were leading up to. It draws on and references every single other book in the series, and it does so masterfully. Read my full review at The Wolf's Den I assure you, if you've hung throug......more

Goodreads review by Sarah on January 29, 2016

Wow, this book was intense. Remember how I complained that in the seventh book of The Young Wizard series the plot took forever to take off? The eighth book pulls no punches, and the tension’s there from the very first chapter. You definitely need to have read the prior books in the series (start with......more

I hadn’t read any of Diane Duane’s Young Wizards novels in years, and then, while cleaning up for Christmas, I found book seven, which a friend had given me months before. I read it, then had to re-read books 1-6, and then re-read book seven. Then, while my husband was away, I ordered books eight an......more
