Arkham Files: Chaos Conundrum

Something strange is going on in Arkham. If you've already visited the New England college town, you're not surprised. After all, this is a place where an extraterrestrial is the head librarian, traveling via wormholes is routine, and a talking armillary sphere guides the team. But hang on, even Neal and his friends are perplexed. That can't be good.

For the past few months, odd similarities to the world envisioned by J.R.R. Tolkien have been popping up. Members of a cult call themselves the Dark Riders. An alien orb has unsettling similarities to seeing stones. But worse is yet to come. And just when Neal thinks he's come to terms with who he is, a curve ball is tossed his way that could change everything.

Neal's not alone to have his world shaken. Henry has been hesitating to tell Eric about the team, but he isn't the only one keeping secrets. Eric's revelation will be a game-changer.

Meanwhile, in New York City, Diana and Mozzie are about to be caught up in an intergalactic chess match where Diana is an unwilling pawn. A year ago, Neal, Peter, and Lavinia visited the Ellington mansion. At the time, Lavinia told Diana that her fanfiction didn't have a bearing on what happened in Arkham. Will she be proved wrong?
