Description
'A vibrant tale told with surety and grace' LEIGH BARDUGO
In the high-stakes conclusion to the Micah Grey Trilogy from the Sunday Times bestselling author of Dragonfall, Micah faces his own magical power, and a conspiracy that unravels all the way to the Royal Palace.
The gifted can't hide their talents forever. But monsters await when they step into the light...
Micah's Chimaera powers are growing, just as dark visions threaten to overwhelm him. Drystan is forced to take him to the Royal Physician, but can they really trust the doctor? Especially when he gets Micah hooked on a mysterious medicine, and a close friend is revealed to be his spy . . .
Meanwhile, violent unrest is sweeping the country as anti-royalist factions fight to be heard. When a royal secret and an attack on Chimaera brings Micah into the heart of the conflict, he and his friends must fight an ancient sect that aims to spread terror once more. The fate of all Chimaera - and the world - hangs in the balance.
