From the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond, humans, chimaera and seraphim will fight, strive, love, and die in this thrilling finale to Laini Taylor’s acclaimed trilogy.
Two worlds are poised on the brink of war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera rebellion and is intent on steering it away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her.

When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited – not in love, but in tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves.

But with bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters?

Two worlds threaten to crumble in the face of a common enemy in the epic conclusion to the Sunday Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke and Bone trilogy.
