Publisher Description

World War II has been raging for three years, but a more terrible evil is just over the horizon. The last stones are falling from the Keep of Time, and the Imperial Cartological Society, led by Richard Burton, has collected doors and is building a new tower at the request of an old enemy: the Winter King's shadow. He has a terrible weapon -- the Spear of Destiny -- that can be used to command the shadows of anyone it touches.

The Shadow King uses the Spear of Destiny to enlist an unstoppable army of Dragon shadows. And after the Archipelago falls, the Shadow King intends to use the turmoil of World War II to take over both worlds.

All the legendary Caretakers, past and present, come together to save two worlds, and their only hope lies with a small group of companions who are on the quest for the broken sword Caliburn: the Grail Child, Rose Dyson; her clockwork companion, the owl Archie; a dead professor of ancient literature; and the mythical knight Don Quixote.

"I loved this book just as I loved the others of the series. However, it is my least favorite, only because of the focus of the story drifting away from John, Jack,and Charles and centering on Rose. But overall it was still interesting and enjoyable and I'm looking forward to book #5! "

    " Absolutely brilliant, and, as always i was constantly torn between wanting to cry from feels, and killing myself at the innumerable references to other literature. Especially the inclusion of William Shakespeare. Loved every moment of it! "

    " I was so glad this series was finally over. I really liked the first and second books, got confused in the 3rd, and really confused in this, the 4th and final book. At least, I assume it is the last. If I had known how this last book would be, I probably would not have read the first book! "

    " I liked the beginning of the series but I don't think that the subsequent novels in the series are as interesting or as engaging. I listened to this as I was travelling, so that might have some effect on my attention span, I'm not sure. "

    " I really like this series and had trouble putting this book down. I love how the classic authors, myth, and legend are woven so creatively through the story. It is always neat to see who or what is next. "

    " So far, the even-numbered books in this series are inferior to their odd-numbered cousins. This one is fairly jumbled, and there's a lot less focus on the three Caretakers, with more emphasis on the "Caretakers Emeritus" and the Rose/Quixote quest instead. "
