Concludes the Story began in Ancient Magic
The Baldari continue their attacks against Sedfair and the Three
Kingdoms. Fierce as ever and now protected by a barrier that resists
all forms of magic the wizards and Casters can bring against them, the
raids press deep into the kingdoms as the Baldari pursue their unknown
goals. Young Mitty, with her Farsight, is convinced the Baldari are
somehow linked with the strange lavender-haired woman she sees in the
peculiar crystalline chamber.
Realizing the attacks are going to continue, and most likely
increase in frequency and severity, both Sedfair and the Three Kingdoms
dispatch teams into the untamed jungles in search of the homelands of
the Baldari, and in hopes of locating the woman in Mitty's visions. It
is only a guess that the Baldari come from the steaming, viper infested
jungles to the south, but the limited evidence available suggests that
is the most likely area where they will be found. Views: 22

Veteran warrior Pike Logan and his young partner, Jennifer Cahill, are forced to helm the increasingly convoluted and dangerous mission: a mission that tests both Jennifer's ability to justify her actions, and Pike's tenuous ability to stay in control. Sifting their way through the opposing plots of two terrorist organizations will turn out to be the least of their problems when a weapon of unthinkable power touches American soil-the only country in which Taskforce members are forbidden to operate, and the only country that Pike Logan may be unable to save… Views: 22
