When the world is ready to burn, you can only call on your oldest friends for help.

Years have passed since the battle at Shattered Palace, and the Willows have developed into young adults, growing into their roles. Ashley guards the sea warden with her life. Peter has been reborn into a living weapon. Lawrence is now a reluctant lord of Xiatian. Dionysus has developed into a magical pirate, and Mae now holds the heavy title of warden.

Juno and General Cardinal’s ambitions to right the wrongs of the past develop when they decide that they have worked in the shadows for too long and marshal Lawrence and their armies to take revenge for years of mistreatment. Only Mae stands in their way, and she calls on all of her old friends for help.

A series of surprises sets the wheels of change in motion as some Willows search for a traveling treasure under suspicions of murder while others defend the last stronghold of Silverwood against an unstoppable Lawrence and his underground army. Mae does not know how she will stop him as she learns of her troubled past and faces her challenging future as The Warden.

The Chronicles of Narnia meets The Magicians in the third and final volume of a magical fantasy series that is suitable for all ages, where imperfect heroes struggle with their destinies and the finest treasures are the old friends who come when you call for help.
