'Because, my dear Max, you dance on the edge of darkness ... and I don't think it would take very much for you to dance my way.'

When an old enemy appears out of nowhere with an astonishing proposition for Max - a proposition that could change everything - Max is tempted. Very tempted.

With an end to an old conflict finally in sight, it looks as if St Mary's problems are over with. Can they all finally live happily ever after?

As everything hangs in the balance, Max and St Mary's find themselves engulfed in tragedies worse than they could ever imagine.

Is this the end?
