Mia Corvere — escaped slave, gladiatii, and infamous assassin — is on the run after the audacious murders that ended Godsgrave's greatest games, now hunted by Red Church Blades and Luminatii legions. With her lover Ashlinn, her young brother Jonnen, and a mysterious ally returned from death, she races across the Republic toward the Crown of the Moon, seeking the final truth about the darkin and her destiny. The concluding chapter of The Nevernight Chronicle pits Mia against Consul Scaeva's bid for total dominion over Itreya in a finale equal parts brutal and revelatory.
