Description

Darkness has fallen on Aveline since Kaethe barred the gates to the underworld.The dead roam unchecked, immune to iron and other weapons. A ruthless child queen has risen in the west, and her armies of the night are marching.It's not a fight Cas or Lo wanted, but they're swept into the thick of it regardless.Having fled one besieged city, Cas must see his family safely to the Boundary, a pilgrimage through lands shattered by war and haunted by ghosts. He meets an old friend along the way - but surviving will mean facing deeper truths about his own path.Half a continent away, Lo is chasing a fugitive god and the ancient necromancer who holds him in thrall. The hunt leads to the frozen reaches of the Icemarch - and a reckoning with hidden puppet-masters who've been tugging her strings.Meanwhile, a crucial battle looms at the mountain pass called Hellgate. Lucius must face the Redvaynes again - but this time as a free man instead of a slave.Get the thrilling conclusion to the Fourth Empire series today! Kat Ross worked as a journalist at the United Nations for ten years before happily falling back into what she likes best: making stuff up. She's the author of the new Lingua Magika trilogy, the Fourth Element and Fourth Talisman historical fantasy series, the Gaslamp Gothic paranormal mysteries, and the dystopian thriller Some Fine Day. She loves myths, monsters and doomsday scenarios. Come visit her at ! When someone dies in Aveline, they don't always stay that way.Castelio learned this hard lesson when he was a boy.Now he roams from village to village as a Quietus, banishing restless spirits and keeping the Ducissa Orlaith's peace-until the day her only son is kidnapped.Blame falls on the land across the Boundary, where necromancers practice their black arts in eternal darkness.To get the child back, Castelio recruits the aid of a young stranger named Delilah, along with her peculiar (and possibly demonic) cat Thistle. The pair has a habit of attracting violent thunderstorms, but their wind ship can cross the high mist-cloaked passes of the Boundary.As the trail leads deeper into the wilds of midnight, Castelio and Delilah discover there are worse things than the risen dead. Yet nothing is quite as it seems in the Moon Courts. Despite the dangers all around, they find allies in unexpected places.And choosing a side in the brewing war between light and dark magic might be harder than they imagined.
