Description de l’éditeur
The magical, stunning conclusion to the internationally acclaimed Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself
"An enthralling fantasy in the Harry Potter tradition."—Time magazine on Half Bad
The Alliance is losing. Their most critical weapon, seventeen-year-old witch Nathan Brynn, has killed fifty-two people, and yet he's no closer to ending the tyrannical, abusive rule of the Council of Witches in England. Nor is Nathan any closer to his personal goal: getting revenge on Annalise, the girl he once loved, before she committed an unthinkable crime. There is an amulet, protected by the extremely powerful witch Ledger, which could be the tool Nathan needs to save himself and the Alliance. But the amulet is not so easily acquired. And lately Nathan has started to suffer from visions: a vision of a golden moment when he dies, and of an endless line of Hunters, impossible to overcome. Gabriel, his closest companion, encourages Nathan to run away with him, to start a peaceful life together. But even Gabriel's love may not be enough to save Nathan from this war, or from the person he has become.
Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It’s a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love.
Now streaming on Netflix as The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The Half Bad trilogy ends as strongly as it started in this conclusion to one of the finest recent examples of YA fantasy. Although the Alliance was nearly destroyed by the Council of White Witches, and Nathan's father, the Black Witch Marcus, has been murdered, the ragtag rebellion continues. Nathan, never the most emotionally stable witch, is more fragile than ever, torn between the needs of the Alliance's fight and his desire for revenge. The only thing that may save the Alliance is if Nathan persuades a powerful Black Witch named Ledger to give him an amulet that will make Nathan virtually impervious to injury. Green's portrait of Nathan as a damaged mixture of good and evil, a sort of well-meaning monster, is masterly, and the series' intensity and the author's willingness to put her characters through enormous pain and transformative loss haven't changed a bit. Powerful scenes of suffering, defeat, and occasionally triumph can be found throughout. Readers will finish this grueling, cathartic tale both relieved and satisfied. Ages 14 up. Ages 14 up.

I loved this series
I read this whole series, and it is now one of my all time favorites.
Awful conclusion
Amazing book series- but why would you end it like that?! The ending left such a bad taste in my mouth.
