Alchemist of the Machines (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789919900151)

The gods have placed their wager and now all bets are off.

When Alexander's seeker spell fails to find Marina, the tsar grows disheartened, believing that the princess may be lost at sea. To soften the blow he's afforded a little time with his beloved Sai. But the Akari prince must leave when bad news arrives from the Court of Lions.

Mistakenly, Marina lands at the western shore of Muscovy, deep into Red territory. Treachery runs among her company as Marina struggles to find her way back to the tsar, and her relationship with Yuri turns a page when hunters arrive looking for her.

War erupts between the Republic and the alchemists when the Federation attacks the Red Capital, but it's not a fight the mundane state can win alone.

The end of the long night has been told, but who lives to see the light is not yet known. In the final battle between the Alchemist Federation and the Court of White Rose, who will be victorious, and who will perish?

The death of the White Rose has been foreseen since the birth of the chosen, and that is the wager of the gods in the final chapter of the Sun War Trilogy. Is the fate of men set, or can the gods be challenged?
