An enemy army advances.
War is coming.
Will Aibek be ready?
The Tsari's mayors won't commit to fight. In fact, they won't commit to anything at all. If Aibek fails to convince them to act, their beloved home will fall.
While the forest's leaders bicker, the enemy plots and prepares. If Aibek doesn't act quickly, nothing he does will matter - and Helak will destroy the forest Aibek loves, along with all its inhabitants.
Can Aibek find a way to bring the mayors together and build an army to oppose Helak? Or will the leaders' indecision leave them enslaved to the evil forces that build against them?
This final installment of The Nivaka Chronicles is packed with fast-paced, breathless adventure.
