Publisher Description
"A classic, breathtaking adventure brimful of dangerous magic and clever politics." ―Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne on The Obsidian Tower
The Rooks and Ruin series concludes with this epic fantasy bursting with intrigue and ambition, questioned loyalties, and broken magic as Ryx fights to defeat the demons and save everything she loves.
The Dark Days have returned. The Demon of Carnage mercilessly cuts through villagers and armies. The Demon of Corruption rots the land. The Serene Empire and the Witch Lords race towards war. And in the middle of it all stands Rxyander, the Warden of Gloamingard.
Burdened by conflicting loyalties and guilt, Ryx searches desperately for a way to defeat the demons before the world she loves is completely destroyed. To find answers, she’ll have to return to where it all started…the black tower at the heart of Gloamingard.
By blood the Door was opened and only by blood will the Dark Days end.
Praise for Rooks and Ruin:
"A must-read for lovers of high fantasy." ―C. L. Polk
“Brimming with delights: gripping suspense, bombastic magic, political scheming, fascinating creatures, and ill-advised romance.” ―Jon Skovron

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The war against the Nine Demons closes with both bangs and whimpers in the vigorous finale to Caruso's Rooks and Ruins trilogy (after The Quicksilver Court). Ryxander "Ryx" of Morgrain, former Warden of Gloamingard Castle, now shares a mind with the Demon of Disaster but still fights to rid her world of the remaining free Demons—among them her grandmother, who herself has merged with the Demon of Discord. This task is made harder by her wary human allies, who are suspicious of the demon in Ryx's head. As the Demon of Corruption ravishes villages, Ryx tries to negotiate surrender with the more reasonable Demons while simultaneously working to avoid becoming a test subject for anti-Demon devices and regain control over the Black Tower inside Gloamingard, where lies the door to hell. Luckily, her growing attraction to Severin, the brother of her nemesis, the Shrike Lord, helps to anchor her human side. Caruso walks a fine line between horror and humor and keeps the narrative from feeling too familiar with inventive demonic duels. Followers of the series will be rewarded with a tried-and-true but not at all trite triumph.
