Still reeling from his final encounter with the Elders, Matthias finally reaches the promised safety of Haven. There, he is met with suspicion and accusations, learning too late that the new world he's entered is built on as many illusions and lies as the world he's left behind, and that the safe home he's been searching for isn't safe after all. When all the illusions come crashing down, and Matthias barely escapes with his life and his friends, he finds himself going back to the start--and finds himself one step closer to the truth.
