Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Jack Campbell's epic series, The Pillars of Reality, reaches its exciting conclusion.

The Great Guilds, fearing the loss of their control of the world of Dematr, have gathered their power and joined it with the relentless legions of the Empire. The full might of that host will fall upon the fortress city of Dorcastle. If Dorcastle falls,
the revolt led by Master Mechanic Mari and Mage Alain will fail, and their world will soon descend into chaos.

Only Mari, believed to be the daughter of an ancient prophecy, can inspire the people and lead the defense of Dorcastle. The prophecy says she has a chance to win, but it doesn't say she will survive. Alain will stand by her, both willing to die
for the other, but neither one knows if their sacrifices will mean victory.

As they battle the Imperial legions and see friends fall, Mari and Alain face their greatest challenges. And if they somehow win in the face of impossible odds, neither one can be certain what sort of world that victory will produce.

At first when you start reading, you are going to be reading about the great war taking place where the main characters are right in the middle of. I was starting to grow weary of reading so much details about the war, but it is necessary in order to make way for how Mari handles the consequences. T......more

Goodreads review by Douglas on August 07, 2019

After book one I listen to this series one after another and so this will be a "series review" to be copied and pasted for each of the following books. I am glad I did it this way because this author has chosen to embrace the cliff hanger approach in this series. Personally I detest cliff hangers in......more
