Synopsis

In the wake of the cataclysm that has reshaped the very lands, Sanglant is struggling to legitimize his own rulership and Liath's status as his wife and consort, even as others are leaguing against him . . .

The Aoi are carrying out random attacks on the humans and implicating Sanglant as their leader . . .

While Liath, searching for forbidden magics, is unexpectedly beset by enemies she may not be able to withstand . . .

Stronghand is on a march of conquest that will inevitably lead into the heart of Sanglant's realm . . .

Adelheid has made an unholy alliance with the treacherous Antonia, who, with the deadly galla at her command, is prepared to strike at Liath, Sanglant, or anyone who threatens her plans . . .

Sabella and Duke Conrad have also marshaled their forces and are moving to seize the crown from Sanglant . . .

And Alain must take his own stand against the Lady of Battles if he is to have any hope of redeeming this war- and magic-torn world . . .

What an experience. Now I know a lot of the knock against this series has been the “bloated” narrative......more

Goodreads review by Morgan on July 03, 2017

Absolutely amazing ending! Everything was tied together spectacularly, and I was so astounded after finishing this that I couldn't sleep! I distinctly remember blurting, "Oh. My god," several times in the last several chapters. By the time I placed the finished book on my shelf, I was probably in sh......more

Goodreads review by Claire on November 09, 2020

Not for everyone but I loved this sprawling fantasy take on early medieval Europe. Kate managed to keep track of all of her POV characters and the continent spanning action and wind it into a satisfying conclusion; no mean feat after 7 books. And what an amazing range of characters from all genders......more

Goodreads review by Joseph on February 12, 2021

And here we are, at the end of all things.
