In "At the End of Time," Tim’s journey toward self-discovery takes a mystical turn when he learns profound lessons from Aegaeon, a wise merman, while Leah steps into her role as the new Mermaid, confronting the ancient balance between Yin the Dark and Yang the Bright—forces whose conflict has halted the tides of Earth. Written by John Ney Rieber and brought to life with striking art by Peter Snejbjerg, this pivotal chapter in The Books of Magic Omnibus is a haunting, visually rich exploration of identity and harmony. The cover, a bold and ethereal piece by Chris Bachalo, captures the story’s otherworldly tone.
