Description

“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.” Booklist on Crossing Over

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.
