About this ebook
BOOK THREE IN THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • An Entertainment Weekly Summer Reads pick!
"The perfect summer read." --The Washington Post
The beloved and bestselling fantasy series that “glows, burns, and smolders.” (Huffington Post).
Beyond the Martial Empire and within it, the threat of war looms ever larger.
Helene Aquilla, the Blood Shrike, is desperate to protect her sister's life and the lives of everyone in the Empire. But she knows that danger lurks on all sides: Emperor Marcus, haunted by his past, grows increasingly unstable and violent, while Keris Veturia, the ruthless Commandant, capitalizes on the Emperor's volatility to grow her own power--regardless of the carnage she leaves in her path.
Far to the east, Laia of Serra knows the fate of the world lies not in the machinations of the Martial court, but in stopping the Nightbringer. But in the hunt to bring him down, Laia faces unexpected threats from those she hoped would help her, and is drawn into a battle she never thought she'd have to fight.
And in the land between the living and the dead, Elias Veturius has given up his freedom to serve as Soul Catcher. But in doing so, he has vowed himself to an ancient power that demands his complete surrender--even if that means abandoning the woman he loves.

This book is okay but by the 3rd book in there never feels to be any relief from the stress and things going wrong for characters. It feels like it's dragging on and that the author likes to torment her characters instead of us seeing them grow they feel like they stay stagnant for too long by just failing constantly. Small victories throughout would go a long way.

Amazing, amazing, amazing! There has to be another book... So much twist
and turns. Truly respect the depth of all the characters. Forgiveness,
redemption, acceptance, and letting go were major take aways from this
book. I am left in shock, what an ending!

I really loved this trilogy but you left the ending totally open and so much unfinished. You have to continue! There's just too much left unsaid and so much more to do yet! But I loved this series. An emotional rollercoaster for me. So PLEASE continue with the trilogy! I know I'm not the only one begging for more!!!
