"A gateway from the sunken forgotten depths of time has opened in the Black Forest, and two messengers emerge to seek allies to fight beside them. In the distant past, Martha and Tristan were companions in war, inseparable, lovers. Now they have been drawn back to the world as sworn enemies, in a battle to decide whether humanity survives or is devoured by chaos. One brings the message of the ultimate pointlessness of existence. The other brings the hope that humanity is worth saving. Only six young people will have the brutality or goodness of heart to stand up to the battle. These six new warriors soon learn that the fate of everything--every living being in the world--rests on their belief in...or lack of faith in...humankind. The battle of the Eight must continue until only one side remains and the future of the world is sealed."-- Provided by publisher
