Ruin and the Throne

It must end where it began.

Death is anchored in the world of the living. The dver is wide open and the soulless plague brings ruin to Fedosia.

A past lover’s name taints Aleksei and Sofia’s marriage, and unable to escape the Red Duke’s shadow, Aleksei chooses to leave instead.

Lev and Sofia quarrel as siblings do, but when strongholds fall and allies perish, they must work together to vanquish the darkling.

All roads lead to the Bone Country. The Guards will make their last stand where it all began—Usolya Fortress. But so far in the east, the soulless are not the only enemy. The House of Ice has waited out the Elfurian war, and now they will make their bid for the throne.

When all is settled, how much is lost and what is gained?

Ruin and the Throne is Book 5 of The Fedosian Wars and is the conclusion to the story of Sofia Guard and her Aleksei.
