Publisher's summary

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

Great Twists at Every Turn

Just when you think you have everything figured out, boom! it goes left when you think it's going right. I loved how it was written, the new revelations and even the way things sort of ended :) Really enjoyed the series

Very enjoyable series

A great ending to a well written series. I will say that I felt there were a few too many filler battles. I understand the need to show the scourges effects. I just wish there had been a better way to show how these atrocities developed from a person believing she did holy work. Though I understand it would of likely needed another POV to do this, which was not possible. To me, everything else about this book was masterfully done and well worth my credit.
A great narrator.
I find it interesting that this book should come into our hands at a time in the real world where we have just witnessed rape and brutal murder of innocent people by the hands of people who think they are doing holy work. The fact that the ripples of hatred and evil thought and deed continue in our very own colleges and cities as I write this truly frightens me and adds greater weight to this story.
It is almost as if the malicite truly exists.

A good ending to a trilogy

I found this book just like the rest of the trilogy action packed as the battle scenes and descriptions made it easy to envision this tale. The trilogy was nicely summed up without feeling of being rushed..

Loved every bit of it!

This was a perfect ending. I was very invested in the story and characters. The ending was worthy of both!
