In this third and final installment of Anna Kendall's Soulvine Moor Chronicles, it's a race against time—and against death itself—if Roger is going to save both of his worlds.
It's a question of life, death—or something even worse
Roger has faced down queens, barbarians, dangerous ghostly dogs, and even armies. There is one challenge left: to stand against the mysterious Soulviners and their dangerous plans to dominate the Land of the Dead. His friends held captive, his true powers still undiscovered, it's possible only the legendary bright and terrible sword can save them now.
A fast-paced, character-driven story, this tale is packed with action, emotion, and danger.
Anna Kendall was born in Ireland and immigrated with her parents to the United States at age twelve. For several years she taught fourth grade. She lives in Seattle, where she plays a lot of chess.

Reviews
“Kendall’s debut novel is an atmospheric coming-of-age tale that weaves ill-fated courtly love with Roger’s difficult journey to understand the world.”
“An atmospheric depiction of her hero’s journey and freshly imagined vision of the afterlife should resonate with gothic fantasy fans.”
