Summary

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Cinda Williams Chima's Heir Chronicles series reaches its stunning conclusion!

The delicate peace between Wizards and the underguilds holds by the thinnest of threads, but powerful forces inside and outside the guilds threaten to sever it completely, and Emma and Jonah are at the center of it all. Brought together by their shared history, mutual attraction, and a belief in the magic of music, they may be torn apart by new wounds and old betrayals. As they struggle to rebuild their trust in one another, Emma and Jonah must also clear their names as the prime suspects in a series of vicious murders. The answers they need appear to lie buried in the tragedies of the past--but can they survive long enough to unearth them?

Old friends and foes return as new threats arise in this stunning and revelatory conclusion to the beloved Heir Chronicles series.

Horn Book Review

A spate of murders threatens the fragile truce engineered among the five "Weirs" (magical guilds divided by talent) and the "savants" (those with non-traditional talents) in previous volumes. Chima excels at placing multifaceted characters in situations that make black-and-white morality impossible. Prejudice, redemption, star-crossed romance, unmasked secrets, and long-deferred closure on previous generations' tragedies get their due in this impressive series resolution. (c) Copyright 2015.

Booklist Review

Emma, who distrusts police, is caught in the middle of a wizard murder investigation that implicates enchanter-warrior savant Jonah, for whom she has growing feelings. The murder, a cover for deeper agendas, escalates tensions between wizards and those they formerly oppressed, but alliances are in play and treachery is afoot. The chords (pun intended) binding and sustaining this well-paced narrative are the authentic relationships between characters that are deeply engaging to readers. As Chima wraps up an arc within the Heir Chronicles series, plot knots are neatly resolved and lovers unite, and yet there is a hint that still more may come.--Welch, Cindy Copyright 2010 Booklist
