Release Date: 18/08/16
Publisher:  Gollancz

SYNOPSIS:

Labrys Town, home to a million humans cut off from the rest of the universe, has been invaded. Those who protected it have been deposed.

The Relic Guild are scattered across the worlds of the Aelfir. Many of them are dead or dying. The Genii control everything. The war is almost over.

Clara, a young woman barely able to control her werewolf side, has seen her friends and mentors killed in front of her. She is the last hope for Labrys Town.

But someone else is watching...

The dramatic conclusion to the award-nominated fantasy trilogy which began with THE RELIC GUILD.


REVIEW:

The third and final title in Edwards Relic Guild series and a book that had a hell of a lot to do as with the conclusion of the last title left the reader wondering what would happen with so many casualties in the Relic Guild/Genii War, Its high octane all the way as the reader is left gripping the covers and refusing to put the title down until they know what finally happens. Back this up with cracking storytelling, a masterful understanding of pace alongside top notch prose all leads the reader, at the very least not only heartbroken but sated with the tales conclusion. Magic.
