Now that 13-year-old Abraham (Bram) Stone has finally released the news that the Brimstone Network still exists, the Network has been quickly rebuilding their headquarters and recruiting new agents.
As the son of the late leader, Elijah Stone, Bram has grown accustomed to his new role, and imagines that his father would be proud of the work his team has done. Now that the magickal barrier between earth and the other realms has been weakened, thanks to the efforts of the black sorcerer, Crowley, the world needs the Network more than ever to protect it from dark forces that would threaten it.
Bram's position as the new leader proves to be precarious when an assassin breeches the Network headquarters and blows up his office. As Bram's friends scramble to find out if Bram survived the blast, Bram finds himself in another realm, saved unexpectedly by the followers of Ligeia, the mother he has never known.
As queen of the Specter, Ligeia's rule now hangs in the balance as the warlord Barnabas, aided by the powerful being, Trinity, attempts to detain her and prevent the ascension of the Specter to a more peaceful way of life. It's up to Bram, and the other members of the Brimstone Network, to stop an invasion of epic proportions that could destroy the earth and the human race forever.
This exciting conclusion to THE BRIMSTONE NETWORK trilogy brings us back to the start of the series, and answers many of the questions that cropped up in the first book. Fans of the series will lament the end, but revel in the satisfying wrap-up that pushes the characters to the brink.
