The Dark River (The Fourth Realm #2)

The Dark River is the second book in John Twelve Hawk's Fourth Realm Series. The first book was The Traveler.

As many second books in a trilogy, this one was not as exciting as the first book. A lot happens in the book, but not a lot of progress is made toward the conclusion. It doesn't have the punch of the first book.

The Dark River begins a few months after the Traveler ends. Maya is still recovering from her wounds. Maya, Gabriel, Hollis and Vicki are hiding from the Tabula. At the same time, the Tabula murder everyone who has helped them along the way.

Gabriel goes to London in search of his father. The others follow after being separated in a chase through New York City. While Gabriel does not find his father in London, he does find allies. By the time Maya catches up to Gabriel, it is evident that Gabriel will only be able to find his father in a different dimension. He knows that his father has gone into the first realm - a realm that is very difficult to return from.
