Randall Moon is filled with dread – an eclipse is due to take place! He swears that evil will fall when the moon blocks out the sun. And he's proved right when the Nekross activate their magnificent master plan – to take control of the moon's orbit and bring everlasting night to Earth!

The Nekross plunge Tom's world into a total eclipse, and make their demands to wizardkind – surrender, or the entire human race will suffer! For the first time in millennia, the wizards must go to war. Tom comes up with a drastic solution – but can Benny find a better way to end the fight and save Tom's life?

On the eve of war, Tom is visited by a wizard family who claim to have found the most powerful object on the planet – the Source of All Magic! But in the skies above, the Nekross are forced to take terrible action, as Kooth sets her evil plan in motion. By the end of this night, neither wizards nor aliens will ever be the same again.
