Review Summaries
"David, April, Jalil, and Christopher have left Atlantis and they find themselves in a new land that they soon learn is Eire. One of the first people that they meet in Ireland is Lorg the giant and he tries to eat Christopher and is barely stopped in time by Etain, a beautiful half-elfin princess. They travel to her father's castle but they have barely arrived when they receive the message that Lorg has been killed. They soon learn that Senna has brought over one of her followers and he has an automatic weapon and he's on the lose. It soon becomes apparent that Senna is bringing over her own private army from the real world and the fight is just beginning. The Sennites manage to take the castle after some brutal fighting and the only person that escapes is Christopher. He meets up with Merlin and they sneak back into the castle and cause confusion among Senna's troops. This confusion is further heightened by the arrival of Loki's son Fenrir and his subsequent death. In the chaos April manages to kill Senna possibly trapping herself and the others in Everworld along with leaderless band of killers that Senna has already transported through the gateway."
