Marrow: Nature then at Strife
The Trying of the Stag ended with an uncertain verdict, Ailaan’s desperate quest to remove the Nails only brought about a new danger, and Edel is running on borrowed time. Now, as the Graveyard teeters on the brink of collapse, humanity stares a new threat in the the Flood-To-End-All-Floods, an unstoppable force poised to drown the continent.
In their final hours, a fragile alliance of the world’s last remaining Gestalts must unite to face a tide of enemies, ones both ancient and newly risen. As they prepare for the ultimate confrontation with the Stag, the earth itself rebels against them, unraveling the remnants of a shattered world. The Alliance of the Gestalts, driven by necessity, embarks on one last perilous journey toward the annihilation of the Old Bones, knowing that even a pyrrhic victory may come at an unthinkable cost.
Nature then at Strife, the final chapter in the Marrow series, continues the story months after the events of Gather Dust and Chaff. Rubedo and Edel's quest to assume Gestalthood of the Old Bones is one they have little time left to complete, and the emergence of new revelations forces them to adopt a different approach to the Stag's annihilation. Meanwhile, Yusef has repurposed the Mammoth as the Graveyard's life raft, traveling the continent in search of survivors of catastrophe. United behind her is Balthanne and the Gestalt of the Vulture, who have returned from their respective corners of the world with nothing but troubling news. United together with Rubedo and Edel for the first time, Yusef's bold new plan to topple the Stag might just see its actualization. The final title in the Marrow series brings together characters from every leg of Rubedo's journey to see the Stag on its knees in the thrilling conclusion to the Graveyard's saga.
