The Mastery of All

"Siri Malkia sat on a wooden throne overlooking a burning sea. It had not been afire when she found it. It had been only part of the pointless dream of some mindless daydreamer. However, she had put it to good use. It was now aflame, fumes of burning kerosene choking the otherwise pristine evening air. The smell reminded her of the city. The sun had set, and the glow from the fiery sea was enchanting, like arson on a cold, winter's night. Moreover, unlike her African home, there was no rush of evening insects here. The noxious fumes from her Hellfire Sea had poisoned them. "And thus, the Circle of Life is ... corrected. Take one pointless sea filled with mosquito larvae and convert it into a lovely bug-repellant. That it serves as a nightlight is charming serendipity." In small-town Virginia, sixteen-year-old Charlie Patterson is hunting creatures that have escaped from the dream world, the Stream. With his partner, Robin LeBeaux, he discovers that something is tearing apart the gateway that separates dreams from reality, and even life from death. Now, he and Robin must again venture into the Stream before the entire universe turns to chaos. There, they are destined to meet the Gatekeeper in the ultimate battle for the future of the multiverse. Powerful, imaginative, funny, and romantic, this exciting third installment of The Stream Series builds on the prior books, but with an expansive, epic story that stands on its own. It promises to please lovers of fantasy adventure everywhere. The Mastery of All was previously released under the title Emprise (The Stream, Book 3)
