The Whisplins Trilogy, Episode III: Broken Moon

The trip peaks in Episode III, with Rhone and Ethric thought dead; Kestrel, Corwin and Betony lost in the Frostlands; and the earth slowly tearing itself apart after it has ceased to rotate. The snow on the mountaintops ominously floats into the sky as The Whisplins’ two moons wax to full, and the gigantic animals prepare their final attack. King Nion in his tower is slowly losing control over his body as The Black Nothing overtakes his soul - leaving him unaware of the coming onslaught. As the epic final battle falls out, can the heroes act fast enough to keep peace native to The Whisplins? The tapestry is at last complete, but will the candle fall?
