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?
