From the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper
Magician Series comes the enthralling climax of a cataclysmic war
between monstrous creatures.
Sandis has finally freed herself from her master and his plans to use
her as a vessel for the ancient beast Kolosos. But her master has found
a new, impossible vessel: Sandis's brother, Anon--a brother she long
thought dead.
Kolosos is ancient, massive, and seemingly unbeatable. Fortunately,
Sandis has her own monster--an ethereal fire horse that she can summon
at will. In addition, she and Rone may have discovered the secret to
defeating Kolosos: ancient lore that details the creation of magic. It
could be the key to victory and the key to saving Anon.
The price is steep, and Sandis is willing to pay it. Rone is not, and
his attempt to save her only pulls them apart. As both are tested in
ways they never expected, Sandis and Rone will need to determine the
sacrifices they are willing to make. If their efforts are not enough,
their city will fall...just as the ancient city beneath it already has.
