Corruption has seeped into his bones, and the Herald of Strife is a ticking time bomb in his soul.

His patron’s sacrifice bought him time, but it’s a debt he can’t repay. To avenge his parents and claim his destiny, he must go to Olympia, Lord Hope’s impenetrable fortress.

As forgotten history and ancient names resurface, Sorin realizes there is only one way forward: he must become the very embodiment of corruption.

In this epic conclusion to the Pandora Unchained series, Sorin must confront the monster within and decide how much he is willing to sacrifice to save a world that has already branded him a villain.
