Synopsis: Two eternities. One ending.
"Harmony would only come with destruction."
The moment Eric and Jessica are reunited, they are torn apart. After the appearance of a new breed of shades and lights, the powers shift for the worse, and all three descendants find themselves face-to-face in the Light realm. When Darthon is in control, the last thing everyone expects is to finally hear the truth.
While Jessica learns the reason of her creation, Darthon's identity is exposed to Eric―and only Eric―and Eric can no longer defend himself. With the eternities of the Light and the Dark resting on Jessica's shoulders, she must choose who she will be―a light or a shade.
In the end, someone must die, and the end is near.

Excerpt
I was staring at myself. It was the last thing I thought I would see in the Light realm. I was human, and so was the Eric standing in front of me. He looked exactly like me, down to the frayed bits of brown hair. Even his eyes were green. Darthon—with an illusion—could be me, and we were both in the Light realm. Even with my sudden pain, my shock took over.
“What…” I couldn’t fathom the words. “What are you doing?”
His smile was even like mine. “You really think she’ll leave us to fight alone?”
It was then that the realm erupted. If there had been heat before, it was now burning. Jessica appeared in a beam of light, and her hair flickered from white to brown to white again. She had to be a light to enter the realm, but she fell out of her transformation the second her eyes saw us—two Erics.
She was human again. We all were. At least, we appeared to be. Darthon was still using his powers. He was only using an illusion, and I hoped Jessica could decipher it, but her eyes darted between us. Her powers weren’t beating his this time. She only saw me.
“Jessica,” I started to speak, but so did Darthon.
“Jessica.” He mimicked me. He even used her full name.
She took a step back.
He pointed to me. “It’s him. That’s Darthon.”
I couldn’t defend myself against Jessica, but neither could Darthon. She was more powerful than both of us were, and Darthon was using the only weapon he had against her—me—but it didn’t work. She kept her distance. She never lifted a finger. Only her
eyes moved, darting between the two of us, searching for flaws in one of us. The biggest downside was obvious. I had spent hardly any time with her over the past two months, and Darthon had spent every other day following me around. He probably knew me better than I wanted to admit, but I didn’t have time to think about it.
While Jessica remained still, Darthon attacked me.
