If in that time they don't take all of Farsala, then the Farsalans will regain their independence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Ceaselessly, Soraya, Kavi, and Jiaan work to keep control of what little land remains free from Hrum rule: parts of the countryside, the badlands, and the walled city of Mazad. They have many people helping them, but there is still one important piece missing: a sword that is able to withstand the Hrum's watersteel. In the end Farsala will fall if it can't win in battle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e But one thing none of these young heroes can foresee is the growing desperation of the Hrum leaders. It will lead some to break their own laws and sacred pacts and will reveal truths to Kavi, Soraya, and Jiaan about the nature of war, the nature of human beings, and -- most importantly -- the nature of themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Hilari Bell builds the action and intrigue to a crescendo in the final installment of this critically acclaimed trilogy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hilari Bell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481450999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481450997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 624\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 1.55d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e111914 \/ Forging the Sword\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Hilari Bell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995713896703,"sku":"9781481450997","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b025bcc-555b-4b53-8a69-e463ad7d6e42.jpg?v=1683337408","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/forging-the-sword-hilari-bell-9781481450997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
