Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Still staggering under Paragor's relentless attacks, Alleble's remaining allies flee from the four corners of The Realm to safety within the Kingdom's walls. Once there they find chaos, the forces of Alleble grieving a fallen hero, and the Kingdom's citizens clinging to an ancient legend about Three Witnesses who can bring victory. But who are they? Where are they?
There is little time for Alleble to mourn before Paragor, the Wyrm Lord, and the deadly Seven Sleepers unite against the followers of King Eliam.
As Alleble begins to lose hope, Paragour unleashes The Final Storm. Will anyone survive to see the dawn?

Mr. Batson brings his trilogy to a satisfying conclusion here (though I would like to have learned what became of Faethon) in this finale to The Door Within and The Rise of the Wyrm Lord, in the process having King Eliam issue a call to a character I did not expect to receive one. The cataclysmic events set in motion during The Rise of the Wyrm Lord continue at that relentless "Batson pace" so familiar to readers of Isle of Swords and Isle of Fire until the (somewhat literally) Earth shattering conclusion!
Mr. Batson has created a fascinating world in the Realm, with similarities to but not quite like any other fantasy world I've ever seen, with Biblical references that are quite obvious to those who are looking for them but no stumbling block to those who are not. I bought this book shortly after I bought The Door Within and The Rise of the Wyrm Lord as part of a promotional deal, but I never got around to reading them until now.
Note: Other than a lower price the chief attraction of the paperback edition is the inclusion of the so-called "Lost Chapters", basically earlier draft versions of some chapters accompanied by author's commentary. The most interesting addition is "Timera's Den", an untold story that takes place between The Door Within and The Rise of the Wyrm Lord.

A great display of faith and courage, as Robby learns about the truth of King Eliam, and joins the side of Alleble, even to the end, along with his best friend Aidan.

Imprisoned in the fortress of Paragor, Antoinette Reed still tries desperately to convince Kearn that Paragor's promises are empty. Meanwhile, Aidan loans the Scrolls to Robby in hopes that they will convince him that The Realm is real and that King Eliam is the one to follow. But Robby is not easy to convince. In The Realm, Kaliam readies Alleble for the assault by Paragor's forces that is sure to come, bringing all of those loyal to King Eliam under the protection of the city's walls. But with the ancient Wyrm Lord and the Seven Sleepers on Pearagor's side, will the walls of Alleble be enough to with stand the storm?
"The Final Storm" brings together the best characters from the two previous books and introduces us to still more. Each of the three travelers from the Mirror Realm--Robby, Antoinette, and Aidan--have their own strengths and weaknesses keeping them from becoming copies of each other. The Glimpses too are clearly defined. While the characters retain their boisterous natures from previous books, the looming war tempers them making this my favorite of the trilogy.
Amid the darkness of war, there is hope. Beneath the shadows of ruin, there is life. These concepts and more are a foundation to this story of Alleble's great stand against the evil of Paragor. I love the way Batson illustrates the fact that though evil times will come, there is only one place to put our trust--In the King of kings. He will see to it that the evil will be used for good, no matter how bleak things may be. "The Final Storm" reminds us all that the end is only the beginning. Teenagers will love this gripping conclusion to the Door Within trilogy.

Adventures are funny things
They always begin with the unexpected,
but they always end with the promise
of adventures yet to come"
~The Final Storm
All books and series must come to an end, and the Door Within is no exception. But what will the future hold? Will Robbie succumb to Pargor's promises of power? And will Antoinette and Aidan remain true to their king in the face of death? The ending is amazingly powerful.

The Final Storm was a great conclusion to the Door Within trilogy. It is definitely my favorite book in the series.
