The final hours have come.
Rocks burn, floodwaters rage, and serpents take wing as a storm of fire and rain threatens the world.
Amid this chaos, a young man named Axle lies near death in a shuttered bedroom. He has the power to save the earth, but to do so he must retrieve something from his dreams, an artifact of memory that he has spent a lifetime trying to forget. With a single ally standing guard, Axle�s spirit searches the terrors of his past, following clues that may unlock a second chance for the human race.
All he needs is time.
Enter Samuelle, a woman whose touch can raise the dead and kill the living. Axle�s rivals have given her a mission: find the dreamer, deliver the killing touch, unleash the storm that will destroy humanity.
Fasten your seat belts for the concluding arc of the Veins Cycle, where cosmic forces play out on a human scale, and where the mind may yet prove to be the most powerful spirit of all.
