Having escaped from his oblivion in The Crystal Prison, Jupiter has returned to once again destroy the world. Now even more menacing than ever, the ghostly cat is slowly regaining his physical shape, and this time he means to destroy both the moon and the sun, plunging the world in eternal darkness.
Audrey has barely enough time to return home and enjoy life that this new threat presents itself. First, the bats fly away, sensing Jupiter's return to London. The Starwife, leader of the squirrels, is then attacked by ghostly figures and barely survives, warning the mice of the danger that awaits them. Morgan the rat returns, this time in command of an army he voluntarily delivers to Jupiter so they can be turned into ghosts. And Picadilli continues to long for Audrey, despite all indications that she does not like him. An epic battle is brewing, one that will change the mice's lives forever!
The conclusion to the Deptford Mice trilogy, The Final Reckoning ties up some loose ends, and manages to drop hints about subsequent events. Favorite characters meet their death in this book, but it helps propel the story forward. Fans of fantasy will appreciate that the story does not end with "and they live happily ever after," but rather features a satisfying and realistic ending.
