Tayo Tersoo And The Hunter Of Souls

Note: This is Book 5 in the Fringes Of Infinity series. This novel is time-matched to Book 4, but it tells everything that's going on in Tayo's world and from his perspective. Read Book 4, then Book 5, or match them chapter-for-chapter.

"I must pursue something that hunts in a place without life. And when I find it-if I can find it-even though it's not alive, I must find a way to kill it? Is that all?" ~Tayo Tersoo, from Lin Finity And The Islands Of Time

Tayo Tersoo, a man pure of heart, dedicated, and very focused, was asked by Lin Finity to combat an entity that she and Gloriana had trapped and brought back from the Godless spaces between the Islands of Time. They call it a Hunter because it hunts souls in those empty spaces, bringing death to the living and chaos to everything else.

What Tayo did not know when he accepted Lin's task was that the entity, the Hunter of Souls, would invade him physically and from there, launch horrific attacks on him and those around him. Is his heart pure enough? How dedicated is he? If he loses his focus and can't keep the Hunter contained, it will roam the Earth, slaughtering wholesale.

"I do not mean these walls," Gabriel said while pointing all around the room and looking from face to face, then pointing down at Tayo, on the floor and losing his mind. "He is the wall." ~From the time-matched novel: Lin Finity And The Flights To Forever (Book Four)
