The Shining City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780316595346)

As they return to Tiralaen, Briony and Elyan must face down their demons once and for all, in this stunning conclusion to the Asperfell trilogy.

After countless trials, Briony, Elyan, and their companions have finally made their way back to Tiralaen. But things are worse here than they could possibly have imagined. King Keric's soldiers stalk the countryside, hanging any dissenters from his cruel reign. The only refuge is in the neighboring kingdom of Sidonia, but between Briony and safety lies a mountain pass not traversed for hundreds of years.

And Sidonia is a court of vipers. Nobles from across the realms are vying for a claim to the throne. Elyan must rally an army to his banner if he has any hope of reclaiming his homeland, but after so long away, will they heed his call?

As war breaks out across the realms, Briony and Elyan must unlock the true power of her magic. Even if it means sacrificing everything they've ever loved. Even if it means tearing down the very kingdom they are hoping to save.
