What will they risk to save the world?
With the apocalyptic threat of moonfall looming ever closer, Nyx and her allies must venture into the eternally sunblasted lands to search for an ancient weapon buried untold millennia ago. All the while, enemies close upon her flanks, and a greater danger lurks ahead. For beneath a desert turned to glass, hidden from the scorching heat, life thrives—both wondrous and monstrous. But a more fearsome menace lies even deeper, where an ancient army has been seeded to protect a secret from any who dare seek it out.
Yet, can Nyx truly trust those at her side? Or even herself? For while her gifts grow ever stronger, so does the danger of losing herself to a dark madness. Worst yet, the same afflicts Bashaliia, her winged and bonded brother.
Elsewhere, a looming war explodes across the Crown, forging new alliances and greater enmities, as lands around the globe are drawn into fiery conflict. Prince Kanthe—now consort to the newly crowned Empress of the Southern Klashe—recognizes a hard truth: to save the world, he must destroy all that he once loved.
Beyond such struggles, a new cunning peril smolders at the heart of a kingdom. Hidden in the Shrivenkeep of the Iflelen, an ancient bronze weapon has been awoken. Fed by blood, fueled by hatred, it has only one purpose: to end all life on Urth.
But in this goal, will Nyx prove to be its ally or foe?

      Urth's fate is nearly at hand as moonfall continues to wreak havoc on all of the lands. Nyx and her allies are determined to find an ancient weapon across the sunburnt deserts to the west. Chased by their enemies, they must cross sands turned into glass and face an archaic army which protects the artifact. Meanwhile, Prince Kanthe, consort to the new empress of the Southern Klashe, must help his distant friends while navigating the war that has spread across the Crown. His twin, King X, makes deadly decisions in his pursuit of Kanthe, and the Iflelen realize that the bronze weapon they have brought back to life may in fact spell doom for not only Nyx's allies, but all of Urth. With Nyx's power prophesied growing out of her control, she's not sure if she'll save the world or help destroy it. VERDICT The penultimate volume of the "Moonfall" series, after The Cradle of Ice, has some exposition lag, but the fast pace of its action sequences will keep epic fantasy readers engaged.--Kristi Chadwick

      In the third installment of the four-volume Moonfall series, Nyx and her friends are confronted with a task so vast in its scope that it seems impossible. Set "untold millennia" after a catastrophe stopped the rotation of the Earth (known, in this far-flung future, as Urth), this fantastic series from the author of the Sigma Force action thrillers began with the staggering revelation that the moon is falling. There was only one hope: to restart the massive machines that set the world to spinning again, causing unimaginable damage. In volume three, one machine has been restarted, and it's a desperate race against time to restart the second. But ancient secrets and a looming war are making it difficult for Nyx's people; can they complete their mission before time runs out? Although Rollins does provide a capsule summary of the events leading up to this novel, readers wanting to check out this series might wish to read volumes one and two first, to capture the epic story's nuances. Those who've read those books can jump right in. Volume four can't come soon enough.
