Throne of Ash and Shadow: Volume 3: The Silent King
The epic conclusion to John Carter's breathtaking fantasy trilogy!
Lumina City is shattered. The Great Wards have fallen, plunging the once-magical metropolis into chaos, despair, and a terrifying, magic-less silence. Ancient, malevolent entities - once bound by forgotten seals - stir in the depths, feeding on the city's ruin and threatening to erase all that remains.
Elara Vance, the quiet apprentice who unwittingly unleashed this new age, now carries the boundless, terrifying power of the Void within her. She is no longer just a conduit, but a reality-wright, capable of unmaking and remaking the very fabric of existence. Yet, each profound act of conceptual creation drains her, leaving her utterly spent, and testing the limits of her humanity.
Beside her stands Cassian Vale, the disgraced Guild Investigator whose pragmatism and unwavering loyalty anchor Elara in a world of shifting realities. Stripped of his own magic, he relies on intellect, steel, and a bond forged in fire, as he grapples with the awe-inspiring, yet terrifying, power his partner now wields.
Their desperate quest has led them through battles against the consuming Glutton of Memories and the insidious Weaver of Despair. Now, the ultimate threat looms: The Silent King, an entity of perfect, absolute stasis, poised to impose an eternal, unchanging tyranny on Lumina. To fight it, Elara must forge the most abstract concept of all - Adaptation - and infuse it into the very soul of the city.
Can a girl who commands nothingness truly rewrite destiny? Can a city learn to evolve before it is silenced forever? And in a world where magic has died, what new powers will rise from the ashes to define its future?
Dive into the thrilling finale of Throne of Ash and Shadow and witness the ultimate battle for Lumina City's soul, where the power of creation meets the tyranny of stillness, and a new dawn is forged in the heart of an unsettled world.
