Synopsis

In the final novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher's acclaimed Codex Alera series, the people of Alera—who use their unique bond with the elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal for protection—must face the ultimate conflict…
 
For Gaius Octavian, life has been one long struggle. Battling ancient enemies, forging new alliances, and confronting the corruption within his own land, he became a legendary man of war and leader of men—and the rightful First Lord of Alera.
 
Now, the end of all he fought for is close at hand. The brutal, dreaded Vord are on the march, using fear and chaos to turn the Alerans against one another, and forcing those who will not submit to flee to the outer reaches of the realm.
 
Perhaps for the final time, Gaius Octavian and his legions must stand against the enemies of his people. And it will take all his intelligence, ingenuity, and furycraft to save their world from eternal darkness...

About The Author

A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut’s Windlass.

There is still much room to play with the element of the armies in battles in Sci-Fi and fantasy and this is one of the freshest......more

Goodreads review by Niki Hawkes on September 27, 2017

I'm so sad it's over!!! The Codex Alera is officially one of my new favorite series. Since I've gushed endlessly in all of the preceding reviews, I think that's all I need to say to cap it off at this point. The first one is just okay. Keep reading!!......more

Goodreads review by Anne on April 22, 2022

I put off reading this for as long as possible because I didn't want it to end. And, well...I didn't want any of my favorite characters to die. (view spoiler)[ But nobody died. NOBODY died. <--except the queen and some of the people that you hated. Like, even the likable characters that I just knew were going to have (hide spoiler)]......more

Goodreads review by Jim on October 21, 2014

This is the final book in the series & it did sum everything up nicely - too nicely. Butcher is just too attached to some of his characters. While that makes this a fun read, it lacked any depth of emotions for me. (view spoiler)[ I was never worried that a major, well-loved character could die. In this series, al (hide spoiler)]......more
