From the New York Times bestselling creator of The Iron Druid Chronicles comes the final book in the epic fantasy trilogy that began with A Plague of Giants, about a war that broke a continent - and opened the door to a new world.

Seeker and Sower

Pen Yas ben Min's cousin was one of the legendary heroes of the wars against the giants until her untimely death. Pen has grown up in her famous cousin's shadow, but when she's given a quest to plant the seed of the magical Fourth Tree, she has a chance to step into the light - and usher in a new age for her country.

Fighter and Friend

Abhi's life - and the world - changed when he discovered a lost magic: the power to speak to animals. After fighting so many battles, he's weary and longs for home and his love, Tamhan. But before he can return, there is one last mission that only Abhi can complete: to speak to the colossal creatures who wait beneath the waves - the krakens.

Sailor and Explorer

Koesha and her shipmates have already made an impossible journey by navigating the Northern Yawn, at the end of which she secured an unusual cloak. But when that cloak turns out to be the key to unlocking the mystery of the Seventh Kenning, Koesha has to risk everything on another life-threatening journey and hope that she can steer her crew to safety.

A fitting end

What a roller coaster Kevin, Luke and Xe have taken us on! Political revolution! Theological upheaval! Historical anomalies revealed and then explained! And the end of so many character stories, all tied off neatly enough to engender satisfaction and not in a rushed or forced way. I laughed out loud. I cried. I pondered many messages and how they might apply in my own life. I will endeavour to breathe peace. If you haven’t already read the first two, jump on this bandwagon! It’s immensely fun!

A full and satisfying finale

As book 3 of the Seven Kennings trilogy, this is a very complex and satisfying read. Kevin Hearne has managed to build a world with myriad that have all had the opportunity to touch the heart of the reader. And he has not left the reader, wondering what happened to his characters at the end.

From Fintan and Dervin to Penn and Abbineva Cosa, the characters tell their own stories in their own voices.

Throughout the trilogy, the story has been complex and it requires quite a bit of memory to remember all the different characters. That said Hearne has been able to maintain the integrity of each character in the complexities of the stories in the world Building.

For anyone who loves an excellent fantasy of epic proportions, I highly recommend this trilogy
