An edition collecting all three books in The Age of Misrule series (World's End, Darkest Hour and Always Forever) was published in Great Britain on 14 September 2006.

Jack 'Church' Churchill and Ruth Gallagher witness a horrific supernatural creature kill a man underneath Albert Bridge on the Thames.

A woman gives Church a lantern called the Wayfinder and tasks him with using it to find four other Brothers and Sisters of Dragons and four Treasures of the Tuatha Dé Danann that will empower her people, the Golden Ones, to fight the Night Walkers, who have Tom and Ruth surrounded.

He tells them that many dangers await, as legend says the leader of the Hunt lives there, but to obtain what they seek, they must take some water from the well to the tor at first light.

[2] Fantasy Book Review said that the author put detail into the work as if "he's walked every path, and driven every road that the characters have travelled upon.

It all helps to make the book feel that bit more authentic than the average story" and that "it's a good start to the series; with a strong ending leaving ...[the reader] wanting more."

It praised how the book made the "transition from modern normalcy to chaos smooth and believable" and how "celtic myths and Arthurian legends ..sic[are] interwoven with English landscape".
