Synopsis

The epic conclusion to the genre-bending series, Shroud of Prophecy (Fate of the Fallen and Destiny of the Dead) from New York Times bestselling author, Kel Kade.

The chosen one is dead, the powerful have abandoned their subjects, and Death has come for them all.

Aaslo, the reluctant new Chosen One, and Teza, a failed magus healer, lead a small group of broken people who continue to hold back the tide of a war between the gods. They gather what forces they can scrape together for a final battle. Their band of unlikely warriors' grit and bravery in the face of staggering odds, however, has strengthened all of them as they come into their power and their destiny.

Aaslo stands at a crossroad where he must embrace all of what he has become even in the face of losing the war, his friends, and his world.

Thanks to Kade’s enthusiastic readers and the success of the King’s Dark Tidings series, Kade is now able to create universes spanning space and time, develop criminal empires, plot the downfall of tyrannous rulers, and dive into fantastical mysteries full time.Growing up, Kade lived a military lifestyle of traveling to and living in new places. These experiences with distinctive cultures and geography instilled in Kade a sense of wanderlust and opened a young mind to the knowledge that the Earth is expansive and wild. A deep interest in science, ancient history, cultural anthropology, art, music, languages, and spirituality is evidenced by the diversity and richness of the places and cultures depicted in Kade’s writing.

Goodreads review by Michael on March 14, 2025

MAssive decline in quality with this book. Between this and the last dark tidings books, almost seems like Kel has lost interest in writing and rushed these out. Massive shame.......more

Goodreads review by ˗ˏˋ maddie ˊˎ˗ on March 05, 2025

I feel like nearly all of the side characters who got to shine so prettily in the last books were shoved aside in favor of a romance that doesn't even make sense. Sedi doesn't complement Aaslo at all. The things that Aaslo values: steadfastness, loyalty, resolve are all things that Sedi not only doe......more
