The crystal skulls mischief continues as their supernatural powers wreak havoc on their would-be caretakers. The Order, meanwhile, finds itself suddenly thrust into the midst of Armageddon before they know what is happening.

The question is, will the Order be able to save civilization from the powers from the Abyss?

Omar and Luke Andrew set off to confront the monstrosity in New Babylon, happy to be reunited and both happy with recent developments in their personal lives. Why is the Holy Mountain waking up? Where did the Great Sphinx go? And how did a dragon and a herd of Pegasus (or is that Pegasi?) get involved in Armageddon anyway?**
