An unimaginable alliance...
A sneak attack...
And a world oblivious to the danger it now faces.

The Arbiter balances the competing forces of Fate, Chaos, Random Chance, Free Will, Order, and Cause & Effect. Much more than abstracts – these six realms are conjoined with ours. Each wants to impose its singular impetus upon humanity to the exclusion of all else.

The only problem is that the unthinkable has occurred – the Arbiter is dead.

And without a trained successor, the Balance is at risk.

Rowan Aspen thought his 21st birthday would be no different than the previous ones – doing morning chores, going to classes, a birthday dinner and opening presents afterward.

Instead, Rowan’s day started with him almost crashing to avoid three cats that bounded out in front of his truck. No ordinary pets, these cats heralded the beginning of a grand journey that Rowan – along with his two best friends, Asher and Holly – would undertake, one that would test their mettle and demand great courage in the months ahead.
This journey will uncover mysteries and decide the fate of every living being on Earth—

Because Rowan was the Last Arbiter.
