From the international bestselling author of the Broken Empire Trilogy, the thrilling conclusion to the Red Queenβs War...
Mark Lawrenceβs βepic fantasyβ (The Washington Post) continues as a reluctant prince returns from the bowels of Hell to engage in his greatest battle yetβamong the living and the dead.
All the horrors of Hell stand between Snorri Ver Snagason and the rescue of his family, if indeed the dead can be rescued. For Jalan Kendeth, getting back out alive and with Lokiβs key is all that matters. Lokiβs creation can open any lock, any door, and it may also be the key to Jalanβs fortune back in the living world.
Jalan plans to return to the three wβs that have been the core of his idle and debauched life: wine, women, and wagering. Fate however has other plans, larger plans. The Wheel of Osheim is turning ever faster, and it will crack the world unless itβs stopped. When the end of all things looms, and thereβs nowhere to run, even the worst coward must find new answers. Jalan and Snorri face many dangers, from the corpse hordes of the Dead King to the many mirrors of the Lady Blue, but in the end, fast or slow, the Wheel of Osheim always pulls you back. In the end itβs win or die.
