Elias Bram, the greatest sorcerer ever to live, has been freed from his prison, Astaroth has been gravely wounded and has left this world to lick his wounds. Rowan Academy is on the brink of war with the Demon Kingdoms while the Demon Kings are at each other's throats, vying for the position of power that Astaroth left behind. It may seem like a boon for Rowan, with the Kings concentrating on defeating one another, however, the King of Blys, Prusias, has delivered an ultimatum: give us Bram and the Gae Bolga, Max's legendary and magical sword, and we will let you live. Given a looming deadline, Rowan must comply or be destroyed. Sent to the Kingdoms to recover valuable information pivotal to the war effort, Max McDaniels and his roommate David Menlo must traverse great distances and defeat even greater enemies, while managing to keep their lives, and humanity, intact. Along the way, powerful allies will be discovered, and terrifying evil shall be uncovered. With war looming, will Max and David manage to survive their dangerous journey and will Rowan be able to survive the coming battle, or will humanity be crushed once and for all leaving the world to crumble?
The Maelstrom, the fourth and penultimate book in Neff's Tapestry Series is by far my favorite. Aside from the fact that maelstrom is my favorite word, Neff's most recent work is by far the best.
