The Last Pyre

The five clans of Ferrath have been divided for a hundred years - by fear, by law, and by a lie no one dared name aloud. Kael knows the truth now. So do Venn, Sable, Lyra, Corr, and Fen. What was called catastrophe was a misunderstanding. What was called protection was control. And the bonding that five Elder Councils have spent a century trying to prevent? It takes forty-three seconds. But completing the Pyremark is the easy part. What comes after - the six months of difficult conversations, the historical reckoning, the slow and painful work of dismantling a century of organized fear - that is the real ending. The Last Pyre is the final chapter of The Pyremark Sagas: a story about power that settles instead of surges, and the people who choose to stay in the room long after the fire goes out.
