Or so they thought. Now, many years later, the Guardians have settled into their final selves, embracing their public images and the Earth Holidays. But the world has not been without evil since Pitch’s imprisonment. First, there was the World War, then The Crash, which has led to what the humans call a Great Depression.

Always inclined to keep to himself, Jack has become especially isolated from the other Guardians since his transformation.

But for Jack to fully understand this secret, he must revisit his past—and finally tell his story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJack’s story, however, isn’t the only one to be reopened; an old enemy whose chapter we thought closed will reappear and with him bring a darkness and destruction that will test the Guardians like never before.
