Set in an alternate Europe where bloody conflicts rage, the final book of the Crown of Stars epic fantasy series concludes the world-shaking conflict for the survival of humanity In the wake of the cataclysm that has reshaped the very lands, Sanglant is struggling to legitimize his own rulership and Liath's status as his wife and consort, even as others are leaguing against him. The Aoi are carrying out random attacks on the humans and implicating Sanglant as their leader. While Liath, searching for forbidden magics, is unexpectedly beset by enemies she may not be able to withstand. Stronghand is on a march of conquest that will inevitably lead into the heart of Sanglant's realm. Adelheid has made an unholy alliance with the treacherous Antonia, who, with the deadly galla at her command, is prepared to strike at Liath, Sanglant, or anyone who threatens her plans. Sabella and Duke Conrad have also marshaled their forces and are moving to seize the crown from Sanglant. And Alain must take his own stand against the Lady of Battles if he is to have any hope of redeeming this war- and magic-torn world.…

Review
"The saga's world is extremely well built, its pacing is brisk enough to keep the pages fluttering.... This certainly could become one of the best multivolume fantasies--fans, take note!" --Booklist "Elliott has a gift for creating grim, dark settings as well as swashbuckling action scenes (both magical and material) worthy of Rafael Sabatini. This is a splendid piece of intelligent entertainment." --Publishers Weekly "A solidly engrossing addition to a worthwhile series." --Kirkus "Kate Elliott, an excellent fantasist, writes lush and lyrical scenes and uses her characters to scale down cosmic events to a human scale." --Midwest Book Review
"Ms. Elliott continues to weave an elegantly intricate tapestry of full-bodied characters who will fascinate and intrigue readers up to the very last page."--Romantic Times Magazine (now RT Reviews) "Strong plotting, thorough world building and sound characterization and character development make this novel a must-purchase for those collections that have invested in the rest of the series."--VOYA "Elliott has created a world with depth and color and peopled it with a large cast of characters, all poised on the brink of a cataclysmic conclusion."--SF Chronicle "This is a very good climax to a very long series.... The writing is clear and excellent, the universe is interesting, the politics and warfare believable."--SFRevu "Elliott has developed as real a fantasy realm as any writer working in the genre, and the very complexity of the story contributes to its verisimilitude."--Chronicle
