Description
The fate of the world will be decided in the searing conclusion of this bold and bloody epic fantasy series.
THERE ARE NO GODS. ONLY MEN.
Betrayed by her closest allies, Empress Miko Ts'ai is thrust from ruler to pawn. But she won't suffer the whims of men. A string of dangerous gambles could win Miko her empire for good, but to take back the throne, she must become everything her ancestors failed to be.
Rah e'Torin leads a herd again. Now he seeks to honor a promise he made a lifetime ago-to safely bring his Swords home. Yet Rah's loyalty to the past may be his ultimate undoing.
Cassandra Marius is lost. Ensnared by memories that aren't her own, Cass must decide who she really is, but the answer lies beyond one final confrontation with Leo Villius.
And trapped in the heart of the Chiltaen army, Dishiva e'Jaroven is handed unexpected power. The dream of a new homeland is within her grasp - if she risks everything and trusts her former enemies.

Reviews
Set in an Asian-inspired world with echoes of ancient China and the Mongol Empire, this is a tale that hits all the right spots. Imaginative world-building, a pace that builds perfectly to a heart-pounding finale and captivating, believable characters. There's a lot to love here. Highly recommended -- John Gwynne on WE RIDE THE STORM
Madson is an exciting new author in fantasy -- Mark Lawrence
A visceral, intriguing, intense and emotionally charged ride. I cannot wait to see where the next book takes us and eagerly await its arrival. I'd strongly recommend this bloody and bold tale to fans of Mark Lawrence [and] George R. R. Martin -- GRIMDARK MAGAZINE on WE RIDE THE STORM
A complex tale of war, politics and lust for power -- GUARDIAN on WE RIDE THE STORM
An incredibly satisfying finale. None of the characters are lost in the action, each coming to an ending that feels entirely right for their arc. Madson sends the series out on a high -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (Starred review)
