Publisher Description:

A young adult epic fantasy starts with three unlikely companions: a porter, a builder and a scholar's apprentice.
They Came from The Abyss....

An old prophecy is being revived. Texts from an ancient time read of events happening in the present day. In the city of Checcheri, where cathedrals rise and merchants trade wares, a young apprentice of the Grand Archivist discovers secrets tied to ancient legends that mirror the events of the present.

It all leads back to a book, the long journey once walked by an explorer of eras past, and a contract with the Shades from the Abyss. Baxter must learn what he can and embark on a quest to ensure the repetition of history does not come with a new, dark ending...
