Book VI of Apprentice Adept. All seems lost for the powers of good in the worlds of Phaze and Proton. Bane and Mach have been forced to co-operate with the evil Adverse Adepts who now have access to the Book of Magic and the Oracle and are gaining power by the minute. But Stile and the Blue Adept still hold the trump card – the secret powers of their grandchildren Flach and Nepe, who like their fathers Bane and Mach are able to communicate at will across the frames. One by one, the good Adepts fall into the power of the enemy until a contest is arranged between the forces of good and evil simultaneously on both frames – the prizes will be the Book of Magic and the Oracle, the keys to the balance of power in the two frames, and if the Adverse Adepts win, they will use them for their own selfish ends and impose  a cruel dictatorship on both animals and humans.
