Synopsis

The city of Illharek teeters on the edge of war. Rival godsworn battle in both the Suburban streets and the Senate chambers. And in the fields and forests, a Taliri army plots its attack.

When a rebel faction of Taliri offers to help defeat Tal'Shik, Dekklis sends Snow and her partner, Veiko, north to Cardik's ruins. The Taliri say that Tal'Shik’s avatar lives in the ruins, and they want Snow and Veiko to kill her. Instead, they discover a city full of angry dead, betrayal, and an unexpected ally.

Meanwhile, Dekklis, now a senator, tries to keep the peace in Illharek by making allies of the powerful Academy and enlisting the Laughing God's help to control the Suburba. But when a godsworn assassin tries to kill her, the fragile peace shatters, and the Suburba erupts into violence.

As Dekklis restores order on the tip of a legion sword, Snow and Veiko concoct a plan to defeat Tal'Shik. But as the Taliri army bears down on Illharek, their alliance—and friendship—starts to crack. Because this isn't a battle for Illharek's streets, it's a battle for Illharek's soul. And some costs might be too high . . .

Goodreads review by Michael on February 18, 2018

This series is so good, and ALLY is a perfect closing volume. When the first two books came out I couldn't wait for the third, so when I got offered an early copy by my agent, I jumped at it. It was everything I hoped it would be. My only disappointment with this series is that it's over. Hell and d......more

Goodreads review by Phil on April 02, 2018

4.5 stars While I still loved this book I feel that it lacked a little in the areas of characters' perspective and in the way the plot was laid out. In the first two books Eason really did a terrific job of showing us the story through the characters eyes and unveiling the plot through their understa......more

A SIMPLE MAN'S REVIEW: Snow, Veiko, Logi, and Briel - what a team! I love the world the author created and, as the last book in the trilogy, we get to walk a bit down memory lane as Snow and Veiko are forced to travel from Illhari to Cardik and back again. It's helpful when books do a bit of this sin......more

Goodreads review by Cata on May 31, 2018

The end? Excellent read. Thrilling, full of action and, surprisingly, romance. Godmagic, conjuring and noidghes are at the center of it all. The characters evolve and are given a somewhat satisfying send off. The story also reaches a nice satisfying conclusion, while also leaving room for a sequel. O......more

Goodreads review by Tony on July 09, 2018

A solid end to a really underrated series. The characters from the first novels continue to grow and I appreciated the political aspect of the novel introduced through Dekklis’ story line. You won’t find machinations on the level of Game of Thrones, but it’s a refreshing break from the skullduggery......more
