About this ebook

In this “gritty, heart-pounding” (John Gwynne) conclusion to the New York Times bestselling fantasy trilogy, The Covenant of Steel, Alwyn must make a difficult decide between his heart and his morals as he prepares for his final battle.

It’s been a long journey for Alwyn Scribe. Born a bastard and raised an outlaw, he’s now a knight and the most trusted advisor to Lady Evadine Courlain. Together they’ve won countless battles and helped to bring order to a fractured kingdom.    Yet Evadine is not the woman Alwyn once knew. As puritanical fury increasingly replaces her benevolent faith, Alwyn begins to question what her true motives really are.    As the kingdom braces itself for one final battle, Alwyn’s conscience fights its own war with his heart. Now, more than ever, he must decide whose side he’s really on.

"This makes a rich treat for George R. R. Martin fans." —Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Pariah

Ratings and reviews

Burned through it! With the ground work laid in the previous two books; I couldn't put this book down, without anticipation of when I could pick it up again. I feel at peace with the conclusion but hope Ryan will revisit this realm in future publications for they're more stories to tell.
