Synopsis: Now that the city of Atrine has been destroyed and Relos Var's plan to free the dark god Vol Karoth has been revealed—the end of the world is closer than ever.

To buy time for humanity, Kihrin, Janel, and Thurvishar must convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual that will strip the vané of their immortality—a ritual that certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the ones bringing the news.

Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to Vol Karoth is steadily growing in strength. How can Kihrin hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all?

Review: This series is so good! I loved the writing and voice in this book and you can definitely tell that the author improved as the series went on. This book is a fantastic conclusion to the series. The characters are well developed, the ending wraps up nicely, the pacing is still on key, and the plot is interesting and intriguing.

The only issues I had with the book is that the world building was a bit less in this book and that you will need to read books 1 and 2 before you dive into this one. It relies on recent memory and knowledge of books 1 and 2.

Verdict: A fantastic series!
