Tencendor has fallen. The land lies in ruin, and only a handful of SunSoars remain.
From the ashes, a new generation rises. Priestess Ishbel Brunelle, the war-hardened Isaiah of Isembaard, and Lord Maximilian of Elcho Falling must rally their fractured world as the dark god Kanubai awakens and the monstrous Skraelings swarm across the land, guided by the sinister force known as DarkGlass Mountain.
Old bloodlines stir. The Star Dance calls. And the Lealfast—long-lost kin to the winged Icarii—return, their allegiances uncertain. Amid suspicion and looming war, Axis SunSoar revives his legendary Strike Force for one final stand.
Sara Douglass weaves legacy, conflict, and myth into a sweeping fantasy of fading light and rising darkness—where salvation may come at the edge of a blade or the whisper of a forgotten star.
