Synopsis

THE TIME HAS COME.
SEKINOWARI - THE LAST WAR - HAS ARRIVED.

The breakneck conclusion to the trilogy that started with We Are the Dead. To beat the ultimate evil, sometimes the price is more than you can pay . . .

The war with the Egril has changed Tinnstra forever. A coward no more, she'll go to any length to defeat every last one of her enemies.

Zorique has grown into her powers. It's time for her to lead her army into Jia and spearhead the fight for her homeland.

But at what cost? The Egril emperor Raaku - the Son of Kage himself - is waiting for them. And he intends to destroy Zorique, Tinnstra and all their allies.

They will need to put everything on the line if Jia hopes to see the dawn.

About Mike Shackle
