A new evil is born. The Ebon Cities have created a deadly new breed of undead called the Witchborn, whose very existence spells doom for the entire continent. To make matters worse, a nihilist cult called the Black Circle has learned of the Witch’s Eye, the source of the Witchborn virus and an item capable of opening a portal to The Black. Eric Cross’s scattered and war-weary team must find the Eye before it’s too late. With the aid of some unlikely allies, the mercenaries will fight their way across the wastelands and challenge the horrors at the edge of oblivion. And before the battle is won Cross and his team will make the ultimate sacrifice, and face one of their own… Return to the world After The Black in Book 5 of the BLOOD SKIES saga!

That was all I hoped it would be. Well almost. Ideally I would say 4.5 but let me give credit where its due. Steven has done an exceptional job of bringing the pieces together and giving us some respite after three books of hurt and pain. Its still not closure yet but you feel that the midpoint has been achieved. You can feel the empathy that Steven has developed for his characters and his writing style has been toned down thus allowing him to focus more on the plot rather than describing the landscape. My only gripe will be the fact that he does not handle the interpersonal relationships too well with reunions being too superficial. But thats just me cribbing. All in all its a fantastic rounding up of the breakneck speed that he has built over last 3 books and makes the three books a single sitting read.
