We began the story in this series learning about Lucas and his past and what has happened to him. we end it on his goals, hopes and how he recovers from an event that would shatter anyone dealing with it. we see Lucas and his clan mates grow into friends and try to find happiness or tackle goals made in the books. I might be babbling having to deal with similar events as Lucas will do that. But I have to say that you should either give the books a try or finish the series.
