King Vargan has declared war with Jaron's kingdom, Carthya.
To make matters worse, he has captured Imogen, the girl
Jaron is desperately trying not to feel anything for with
his betrothal already in place to someone else. In an effect
to save her and his kingdom, Jaron tries to plan an attack
on Vargan using all of his friends and allies. Even with all
his effort, there is no telling who will finally end up with
the crown.
Jennifer A. Nielsen brings her trilogy to a perfect
conclusion with THE SHADOW THRONE. The final plot unfolds
with non-stop action, shocking twists, and the beauty of a
boy finally learning what it means to be king. Jaron's
adventures are never dull, and this final one tops all of
his previous ones. Nielsen raises the stakes at least
threefold, and nothing is certain until the very end pages.
As much as I love the battles, the witty dialogue, and
intense conflict, I think my favorite part is Jaron's
development. Just as he is learning to be king, he is also
learning what it means to have a family again, what it means
to love. He learns not to break the rules as he usually
does, but to forge his own rules based on his heart. There
is more romance in this one than the previous two, and it
does such an incredible job of showing how far Jaron, as
well as several other key characters, have come in their
journey.
Series endings often worry me because of what the ending
actually entails, but Jennifer A. Nielsen couldn't have done
a better finale for this story. THE SHADOW THRONE is a
must-read for followers of the trilogy, and it answers all
of the important questions as well as giving a few answers
to questions you might not have known or thought to ask. I
completely loved it, and I can't wait to see what comes next
with this author.
War is coming. . . . Join Jaron as he embarks on his final
adventure!
War has come to Carthya. It knocks at every door and window
in the land. And when Jaron learns that King Vargan of
Avenia has kidnapped Imogen in a plot to bring Carthya to
its knees, Jaron knows it is up to him to embark on a daring
rescue mission. But everything that can go wrong does.
His friends are flung far and wide across Carthya and its
neighbouring lands. In a last-ditch effort to stave off what
looks to be a devastating loss for the kingdom, Jaron
undertakes what may be his last journey to save everything
and everyone he loves. But even with his lightning-quick
wit, Jaron cannot forestall the terrible danger that
descends on him and his country. Along the way, will he lose
what matters most? And in the end, who will sit on Carthya's
throne?
