Synopsis

Two kingdoms, ancient enemies, must stand alone against an implacable invader in the masterful conclusion of the Great God’s War epic from the New York Times bestselling author of the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant.

They are coming.

The kingdoms of Belleger and Amika had been fighting for generations. But then they learned of a terrible threat moving through them to destroy the Last Repository, an immense hidden library. To face this greater enemy, King Bifalt of Belleger and Queen Estie of Amika allied their lands and prepared for war.

They are at the door.

Now the time of preparation is over. Black ships and sorcery test the cannon that defend the Bay of Lights. Treachery and betrayal threaten the kingdoms. The priests of the Great God Rile sow dissent. And Estie rides for the Last Repository, desperate to enlist the help of their Magisters—and to understand the nature of her own magical gift.

They are here.

Bifalt hates sorcery as much as he loves Estie, and the discovery that she could become a Magister shatters him. But he must rally and fight. Belleger and Amika are all that stand between the Great God’s forces and his ultimate goal: the destruction of the Last Repository and its treasure of knowledge.

Goodreads review by Jeremy on December 30, 2023

The first two books of this trilogy hadn't really grabbed me, although I'd enjoyed them. Having read this final book, I'm actually tempted to read the entire trilogy again particularly as I won't now need to wait years for the writing of each book. In some ways the writing and ideas are disjointed a......more

Goodreads review by Casey on September 26, 2022

This is the conclusion of another well written series of books (this one is the conclusion) by the author. I first read him a number of years ago starting with the Thomas Covenant series. It contains many of the elements that readers of fantasy would expect: two kingdoms, one good and one not so goo......more

Goodreads review by Annarella on November 13, 2022

Since I read the first Thomas Covenant book I knew that Stephen Donaldson was not a fast-easy-read author. It' takes time, some time it's a bit long winding, and sometimes you don' like the characters. But i always remembered the stories, the characters, and the worlds. This is the last book in the Gr......more

Goodreads review by Lisa on November 15, 2022

I was a fan of Stephen R. Donaldson’s Thomas Covenant series back in the day. So when I got the chance to read The Killing God, I jumped at it. (No, I hadn’t read the first two in the trilogy. Y’all know how I am sometimes.) Here we see two countries, Belleger and Amika, historical enemies united by......more

Goodreads review by Major on August 14, 2023

The finale to the Great God's War is an action-packed adventure that never lets up until the last battle is complete. Truly an epic tale that takes all the characters that have been cleverly maneuvered into place in the previous two books and expertly executes an all-out war between the defenders of......more

“A new Stephen Donaldson book is always a cause for celebration. Seventh Decimate will whet your appetite for a sequel.”—New York Times bestselling author Terry Brooks
 
“Fantastic.”—Booklist
 
“Donaldson delivers a surprising start to what promises to be a very unconventional fantasy series…And thus is another fantasy classic forged. Recommended.”—SF Revu
 
“[Donaldson] is a writer who has explored the themes of grimdark before grimdark existed, and well knows how to deliver epic qualities in his fantasy prose...Seventh Decimate is a strong novel and promises much for what is to come in Donaldson’s new series, The Great God’s War.”—SF Book
