The Seventh Sun faces destruction as Mayana and Ahkin race to save their world in the finale to this “compulsively readable” series (Rachel A. Marks, author of Fire and Bone).

To the Chicome people, an eclipse is a time of terror. When darkness falls, the barrier separating the heavens and the earth becomes unstable. Then come the ravening Tzitzimime - the star demons who thirst for human blood. Mayana and Ahkin know the full extent of the coming danger, but they must gather support or the Chicome Empire is doomed.

As the eclipse nears, many maneuver for power in this deadly game of worlds ending.

Metzi, Ahkin’s treacherous sister, has seized control of the empire with the aid of the malevolent goddess known as the Obsidian Butterfly. But Metzi has no idea what the goddess has in store.…

Yemania and Ochix face the wrath of both their peoples. Their forbidden liaison may draw ancient enemies together…or rip the young lovers apart forever.

And the princesses who battled fiercely for Ahkin’s heart in The Seventh Sun meet again - but this time, they must join forces in order to survive.

As for Ahkin and Mayana, the entire empire seems to want to keep them apart. Can their love endure the end of the world?

The Obsidian Butterfly is the last book in the Seventh Sun series. I do not recommend starting here your experience will be much better if you start with book one, The Seventh Sun.

This book is an exciting conclusion, bring together all the prices and plot lines that the two previous books have been building up to.

as with the first two I am glad to have listened to this in audio so I didn't have to stumble over pronouncing all the unique words. The narrator is very good, giving each character a voice and reading proper emotion and dramatic timing.

All together the Seventh Sun Trilogy is an exciting adventure with political intrigue that will stir up strong emotions on the reader.

The end of the series, the end of the world

What an extraordinary finale to such an amazing and adventurous series. Mayana and Yemania pulled you in with every turn to root for their wins in love and war.

Can’t wait to read Lani Forbes’ next book - Face the Night - releasing in August of 2023.

This was such a good book. It starts right where the last one left off. I loved the adventure and felt like the reader did a decent job but I was so wrapped up in the adventure it didn’t matter! I highly recommend reading this story full of twists and turns, happy and heart wrenching moments!
