Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war.

War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves increasingly at odds with those who don't.

With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what-and who-she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace.

Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.

Booklist Review

Aelin successfully freed Dorian and dramatically announced her powerful presence at the conclusion of Queen of Shadows (2015), and that act has reverberated throughout the kingdom. Though whispers among the continent that Aelin, the true queen of Terrasen, has returned suggest the people are rallying behind her, uniting powerful lords in the fight to free her homeland is harder than she thought. More important, her show of strength when defeating Dorian's captors caught the attention of an even wickeder fiend, now intent on capturing her and wielding her awesome power for his own nefarious ends. Recruiting her usual allies, along with Manon Blackbeak, Aelin sets out to imprison the dark forces that plague her kingdom. Though Maas' breathy narrative occasionally feels overwrought, and a few out-of-character pairings among series favorites seem more like an excuse to include lengthy, detailed sex scenes than meaningful plot contributions, fans devoted to the series (and there are many) will be eager for this installment's cinematic action, twisty schemes, and intense revelations of secrets and legacies.--Hunter, Sarah Copyright 2016 Booklist

Horn Book Review

Aelin hones her power now that magic has been restored; meanwhile, the demon Erawan prepares to conquer Erilea's kingdoms. When Aelin's countrymen reject her as Queen of Terrasen, she seeks unlikely allies and a lock to bind the demon in another realm. More adventure and romance await fans of Maas's high-fantasy series in this enjoyable fifth installment of Aelin's epic journey to save humanity. (c) Copyright 2017.
