Synopsis

Return to the multiverse of Magic: The Gathering as the hunt for Liliana Vess is on in the aftermath of the War of the Spark.
 
The Planeswalkers have defeated Nicol Bolas and saved the Multiverse—though at grave cost. The living have been left to pick up the pieces and mourn the dead. But one loss is almost too great to bear: Gideon Jura, champion of justice and shield of the Gatewatch, is gone. As his former comrades Jace and Chandra struggle to rebuild from this tragedy, their future, like the future of the Gatewatch, remains uncertain.
 
As the Gatewatch’s newest member, Kaya aims to help write that future. In joining, she pledged an oath to protect the living and the dead, but now that oath will be tested. The grieving guild masters of Ravnica have tasked her with a grave mission suited to her talents as a hunter and assassin—a mission she is ordered to keep secret from the Gatewatch. She must track down and exact retribution on the traitor Liliana Vess.
 
But Liliana Vess has no interest in being found. Forsaken by her friends, she fled Ravnica after the defeat of Bolas. She was hostage to his wicked will, forced to assist in his terrible atrocities on pain of death—until Gideon, the last one who believed in her goodness, died in her place. Haunted by Gideon’s final gift, and hunted by former allies, Liliana now returns to a place she’d thought she’d never see again, the only place she has left: home.

Goodreads review by Shannon on November 19, 2019

By looking at the reviews you’d think that the author threw away all canon, filled the book with anti GLBT hate, and also had a terrible plot. Nothing could be further from the truth. First, canon. Perhaps the Nissa/Chandra chapter was disappointing to them in the way that others hated that Rose and......more

Goodreads review by Shawn on November 13, 2019

Ambitious undertaking, passable execution This book clearly has an ambitious scope. Even though the blurb focuses on Liliana Vess, the book weaves together multiple storylines as it fleshes out the aftermath of the ending of War of the Spark. Though it does suffer from some minor technical hiccups (e.......more

Goodreads review by Josh on December 04, 2019

I recently finished Forsaken, and overall enjoyed it. This book has had a lot of negative reviews, so I thought I would give a medium review. Following the events of the War of the Spark, three guildleaders (Kaya, Vraska, Ral) are charged with killing three of Bolas's minions (Liliana, Dovin, Tezzer......more

Goodreads review by Skip on November 29, 2019

This is a direct sequel to War of the Spark: Ravnica and should definitely not be read out of order. Like the first book, this one has a ton of characters and follows them in all sorts of directions at once. For followers of the Magic: The Gathering story who know all these people and want to read a......more

Secondo libro della dilogia basata sul famoso gioco di carte Magic, che riprende dalla conclusione del primo libro, e cioè la sconfitta dell’antico Drago, mantenendo uno stile narrativo avvincente quanto particolare. La narrazione è un terza persona e ogni capitolo è riferito a uno dei tanti personag......more
