Sky and Kristin's grandfather, Sigurd, possesses amazing magic. He has shared part of it with them, allowing them to work magic through runes, transform into different animals, and travel back in time. Once Sigurd asks Sky to kill, though, Sky and Kristin know their grandfather must be stopped. Sigurd seeks to bring Ragnarok, the end of the world, and only Sky and Kristin have the possibility of stopping him. To stop Sigurd, though, they must use the very magic they learned from him and risk being corrupted like him. Traveling back through time to explore their own bloodlines and gather information from both a witch and a witch-hunter, Sky and Kristin hope they can manage the magic without losing too much of themselves. This fascinating tale draws on Norse mythology and an ancient magical element not often seen in modern fantasy: runes. In addition, Humphreys creates a believable magical world, both in modern times and the past. This is a thrilling and suitable conclusion to "The Runestone Saga." Reviewer: Amie Rose Rotruck
