Sinopse

The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon is the compilation of 34 short stories and essays by Washington Irving. It includes some of his most famous stories, such as The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip Van Winkle, and was one of the first works of American fiction to become popular in Britain and Europe. The tone of the stories varies widely, and they are held together by the powerful charm of their narrator, Geoffrey Crayon.

    Time is ticking as the Timeless Plains becomes the new battleground for evil, but first, Shaz and the crew have to find a way to save Serin’s family from the toxin of the Ruin Spiders that are now invading the underground. Riddick and Amirra take their journey to the far reaches of the Turbulent Reef, where time turns at a much slower rate. Turkill and Ladtwig head to enlist the help of the Gryphton’s to secure the venom of the Saraswati Bugs, while Shaz and Serin head for the spiders in the Timeless Plains. 
    What they find is unsettling at best, and the reality of their current situation becomes real. A Jaduuk army is increasing at exponential speed and killing everything in the Timeless Plains. Realms start to unite as the Ebassian soldiers, the Gryphton’s, and the once lost to the ages Rangers join the struggle. Shaz and his united efforts battle the forces of the Jaduuk, only to find out that Gavin Rhill isn’t the one at play. Shaz’s shadow magic is getting stronger, and he is now up against a God with an old debt to settle, his hatred for his brother, Shaz’s ancestor, and is determined to take it out on Shaz.

    "The alien known as The Human stands before this Tribunal having been found guilty of the crime of murder without circumstances. You shall be interned in the Malx Prison for a term no less than your natural, unnatural, or transformative life without the possibility of reconsideration or commutation. You have committed the most grievous crime on Noranen and shall now suffer the maximum consequences for such a heinous act."Adam Cain had had worse days, but at the moment, he couldn't remember when. And when the native judge slammed an oblong stone on the podium before him, signaling an end to the fifteen-minute trial and sentencing, Adam felt a tingle run down his spine. It was going to take all his skill, experience—and luck—to get out of this one. And his latest challenge was just beginning . . .But Adam wasn't about to let the situation get the best of him. He had skills, skills which will be tested when he finds he's been placed in more of a zoo than a prison. All the inmates were aliens on the planet Noranen and serving life sentences. So why worry about their welfare? Let them sort it out amongst themselves. All the guards did was clean up the mess afterward. Unfortunately for the inmates, there was now a super being amongst them, a scrawny, pink-skinned creature known only as The Human. Let the alien ass-kicking commence!
