Publisher Description
The final breathtaking novel in the Seraphim trilogy by USA Today bestselling author David Dalglish
The protective dome has collapsed, and midnight fire rains down upon the five floating islands that house the last remnants of humanity. What started as a small rebellion has grown to all-out war, but Kael Skyborn no longer trusts the mysterious leader Johan, nor his disciples.
Bree Skyborn is the Phoenix of Weshern and the face of the rebellion, but her skill is not enough to escape the entire army of Center hunting her down. When she's captured, Kael no longer cares about the war or the call for independence. All that matters is rescuing his sister from the clutches of those who would use her to merge the elemental power of demons with the blood of mankind.
Both sides hold their secrets, which could be their ultimate undoing.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
This frenetic novel brings the Seraphim epic fantasy trilogy (Skyborn, Fireborn) to a pulse-pounding conclusion, with open warfare between the flying islands that harbor the last remnants of humankind following its near-destruction five centuries prior. While Center attempts to regain dominance over the lesser islands with the use of ancient weapons of incredible power, the Skyborn twins, Kael and Bree, lead an increasingly desperate rebellion. However, the real threat comes from L'adim, an immortal who secretly fans the flames of war while marshalling an army of elemental monsters to finish destroying the humans. As new secrets about the past and present are revealed, Dalglish maneuvers his characters toward the final confrontation. As with the previous installments, action abounds, with special attention given to the highly dynamic aerial combat and element-based weapons, such as Bree's fiery swords and Kael's light-infused shield. Dalglish raises the stakes and magnitude, demonstrating his knack for no-holds-barred, wildly imaginative storytelling and worldbuilding. He wraps up the various narrative threads in a satisfying conclusion that leaves room for future exploration.
