Tom Ward, seventh son of a seventh son, is ready to fulfill his destiny and vanquish the Fiend using all the skills he has received from Master Gregory and the Spook. All that is left is for Alice, the one he loves most, to sacrifice herself for the good of the world--however, now it comes to it, neither Alice nor Tom is sure about the sacrifice, and the fate of the world is in the balance.
