A tree of life. A guardian of death. One destiny rings true.

Stories tell of a life-giving tree-a perpetual fountain of youth. But its branches and fruit are shrouded in mystery and cloaked by an unearthly force. Anyone who dared to claim the promise of immortality died suddenly and violently. But there are rumors of a way past it.

Logan and Mindy get a ghostly clue from within a haunted farmhouse. With the aid of fellow villagers, the humans launch themselves across the globe to decipher the mystifying riddle-an ominous secret about an invincible, timeless warrior posted by God Himself. But a horrible creature has arisen within Computerworld's dark, seething army. It's bent on stealing eternity, and will stop at nothing to annihilate the frantic teens before they can prevent the world from crumbling into insanity.

And all the while, Shadowind is imploding. A mutiny is raging across her decks, and her systems are wheezing their final gasps of life.
