She and her fellow rebels plan a desperate rescue mission after King Damien takes one of their own hostage. Opening the kingdom’s magical seals has transformed Keera in ways even the wisest Fae elders could not have anticipated. With the kingdom’s Halfling population suddenly posing a risk to the crown, the land is plunged into violence as the king begins a new blood purge. Keera and her allies gather an army to meet Damien’s forces in a final confrontation of epic, and tragic, proportions. The epic final installment in the Halfling Saga will thrill fans of Melissa Blair’s lush, action-packed, romantasy series.

a satisfying conclusion to a solid series. some parts felt a bit clunky or too rushed compared to the rest of the series, but an overall worthy read. i hate that this series gets classified as YA (it's 100% not), or as a romantasy. yes, it's a fantasy with romance -- but the story is not central to that. it is about settler colonialism, indigenous identity, culture, history, land-back, and generational trauma. it is about finding a reason to live and fight for your people and peace for the next generation. it has found-family, and is authentic about grief, suicide ideation, substance abuse and relapse. highly recommend the audiobook. Kyla Garcia brings Keera and this story to life.
