War sweeps across the Lowlands as the Wasp Empire unleashes its armies on every vulnerable border. The city of Tark stands first in their path, and Salma and Totho join the Ant-kinden to defend a fortress already bracing for overwhelming force. Inside its walls, courage and strategy collide with an enemy unlike any the Lowlanders have ever faced.
Farther south, Stenwold Maker confronts danger from within. Marked for death by the Empire’s secret service, he races to protect Collegium, a city whose knowledge and leadership hold the last hope of resistance. Losing it would shatter the Lowlands before the war has truly begun.
Continuing the acclaimed Shadows of the Apt series, Dragonfly Falling deepens the stakes with sweeping battles, political intrigue, and a menace that could darken the world for generations.
