Shadowborn

by David Dalglish

Overview

The epic conclusion to USA Today bestseller David Dalglish's Seraphim Series.

What started as a small rebellion has grown to all-out war, with the four minor islands uniting under the call for independence. But Kael Skyborn no longer trusts the mysterious leader of their rebellion, nor his disciples. Neither side seems willing to reveal the truth of the elemental prisms the Seraphim wield in battle, or the blood that keeps the islands from crashing down to the ocean below.

Bree Skyborn is the Phoenix of Weshern and the face of the rebellion. But when Kael is captured and brought to Center for execution, Bree no longer cares about the war or the call for independence. All that matters is rescuing her brother and putting a stop to the violence for once and for all.

Both sides hold secrets that could be their undoing.

Editorial Reviews

11/13/2017
This frenetic novel brings the Seraphim epic fantasy trilogy (Skyborn, Fireborn) to a pulse-pounding conclusion, with open warfare between the flying islands that harbor the last remnants of humankind following its near-destruction five centuries prior. While Center attempts to regain dominance over the lesser islands with the use of ancient weapons of incredible power, the Skyborn twins, Kael and Bree, lead an increasingly desperate rebellion. However, the real threat comes from L’adim, an immortal who secretly fans the flames of war while marshalling an army of elemental monsters to finish destroying the humans. As new secrets about the past and present are revealed, Dalglish maneuvers his characters toward the final confrontation. As with the previous installments, action abounds, with special attention given to the highly dynamic aerial combat and element-based weapons, such as Bree’s fiery swords and Kael’s light-infused shield. Dalglish raises the stakes and magnitude, demonstrating his knack for no-holds-barred, wildly imaginative storytelling and worldbuilding. He wraps up the various narrative threads in a satisfying conclusion that leaves room for future exploration. Agent: Michael Carr, Veritas Literary. (Nov.)
