"The apocalypse is the way the world looks after the ego has disappeared".- The Last Stand's official tagline

The Key to Coexistence, also known by the working title of "Journey's End", is a dramatic fantasic novel. It was created and written by Brooke Redwood. It is the last novel of the ParaVerse, revealed to be the crossover between Mary Jane Fitzgerald, Anastasia Wynter, Carmina Montgomery, and Malakai Reid.

A direct sequel to the events of When Worlds Collide, the ParaVerse's culmination is set on 2024, and sees Anastasia Wynter, Carmina Montgomery, and Malakai Reid cross paths in a ferocious conflict for supremacy.

Plot
With the world still shaken from the proliferation of 2021, humanity has begun to try and coexist with the supernatural creatures. Suddenly, as Anastasia Wynter watches over the world with tranquility, she enters in conflict with Mount Rushmore Industries, when a squadron led by Jeffrey Snyder attempts to capture a pair of chilote sea horses for unknown, malicious reasons. Soon as she fends them off, Drew Pestock gets news about the attack, and vowed to get revenge on her some day. Several days later, a brutal attack takes place in a Mount Rushmore Industries facility in Dallas, Texas by the hand of an enraged Malakai Reid, scarred by Madison Balt's death at Masterson Shipyard.

As yesterday's saviors become a menace to the eyes of the world, the elite and the U.S. army forces ARK agents to help Mount Rushmore Industries in finding out a way to stop both Anastasia and Malakai. In the midst of the conflict, the emotionally haunted Eden Ambrose attempts to persuade the world that Mount Rushmore Industries has something vile planned for the creatures. However, her mother Mary Jane Fitzgerald senses, partially from her ancient past, that a dormant, centuries-old conflict is about to be triggered. She calls upon her cousin, the "Paramount of Crows" Carmina Montgomery, in order to find a way to stop the war between Anastasia and Malakai and find out what started the newly-revived conflict.

As Carmina, Mary Jane and a ARK squadron composed by carthographer Michael Hawthorne, super soldier Bentley Hamilton, biologist Kimberly Grimes, and scientist Paul Gallant, embark on a perilous mission to unearth the clues to the creatures' very origins and the key to a possible coexistence between humanity and the supernatural, rival factions that want to manipulate the creatures so that war begins to emerge under the guise of a nefarious conspiracy, which threatens to end all life on Earth. Now, with humans are caught in the middle once again, three of the most powerful otherworldly forces engage in the ultimate fight for dominance.
