Publisher Description
M. R. Carey's Rampart trilogy is "an epic post-apocalyptic fable" (Kirkus) like no other, set in a world where nature has turned against us. Now, in the unforgettable final chapter, the world that was lost comes back to haunt those who have survived–and Koli's journey comes to its astonishing close.
"A gorgeous, borderline flawless trilogy." –Seanan McGuire
What will the future hold for those who are left?
Koli has come a long way since being exiled from his small village of Mythen Rood. In his search for the fabled tech of the Old Times, he knew he'd be battling shunned men, strange beasts and trees that move as fast as whips. But he has already encountered so much more than he bargained for.
Now that Koli and his companions have found the source of the signal they've been following - the mysterious "Sword of Albion"—there is hope that their perilous journey will finally be worth something.
They're searching for a way to help humanity fight back against nature. But what they'll find is an ancient war that never ended . . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The engrossing finale to Carey's Rampart Trilogy (following The Trials of Koli) dashes many of its characters' hopes but also opens possibilities for the future that none of them ever imagined. Koli and his companions trans woman Cup, scientist Ursala, and sentient AI Monomo have finally reached the source of the signal they've been following through the dystopian wilderness: a ship called the Sword of Albion. They hoped the source would offer answers, but instead they discover that the ship holds horrific, lethal secrets from the prewar past, before technology was destroyed and outlawed. Meanwhile, Koli's old friend Spinner has become a leader in the village of Mythen Rood, wielding controversial old world technology. Now the town faces invasion by a massive, undefeated army. Even if the town survives the assault, it will have to contend with Koli's return home from exile and the potential extinction of humanity. Carey packs this series conclusion with long-awaited answers about the past, present, and future of this dystopian world. Brimming with both action and humanity especially from the AI Monono this is sure to satisfy series fans.
