The Last Mortal Bond

The trilogy that began with The Emperor’s Blades and continued in The Providence of Fire reaches its epic conclusion as war engulfs the Annurian Empire.

The ancient Csestriim are back to finish their purge of humanity; armies clash outside the capital city; leaches, solitary beings who draw power from the natural world to fuel their extraordinary abilities, maneuver on all sides to affect the outcome of the war; on the islands of the Kettral, the survivors of Valyn’s Wing return to their origins, only to find that nothing is as it was; and all the while, capricious gods walk the earth in human guise with agendas of their own.

At the heart of it all, the imperial siblings Adare and Kaden come to understand that even if they survive the holocaust unleashed on their world, there may be no reconciling their conflicting visions of the future.

Only one thing is certain: the Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne will end as shockingly as it began.
