From the New York Times bestselling author of The Stars Are Dying, kingdoms will fall and heirs will rise in the heart-stopping, emotional conclusion to An Heir Comes to Rise series.



A War. As Ungardia teeters on the brink of ruin, Faythe faces a war that's closing in from all sides. With Rhyenelle fallen and Reylan taken, her heart is torn between vengeance and duty. But as shadows gather, can she battle the darkness without becoming it?



A Prophesy. The rise of the Phoenix Queen demands blood—and not all of it will be her enemies'. As kingdoms unravel and secrets claw their way from the past, Faythe is forced to confront the cost of her actions. If villains are made, not born, then what hope remains when even the saviors are one choice away from becoming monsters?



An Heir. As ancient prophecies ignite and powers awaken, Faythe and her allies rise against the Spirit that has ruled from the shadows. Blood will mark the path. Sacrifice will seal their fate. And in the clash between light and darkness, the final reckoning will decide not just who survives, but who they become.



From ancient powers, some chosen may fall. But from the shadow of their wrath, the Phoenix Queen will rise.
