Interim: Dominion Ashes

by Stephanie Marcum

Her name is a whisper in the river. Her choice will remake the world.

The Dominion is shattered, but its fragments ignite wars across the globe — nations and cults fighting over rewritten histories. Lila Rae McCoy is no longer a waitress, no longer a ghost — she is the Interim Mistress, worshiped and feared in equal measure.

But Aria, once her closest ally, has become her The Anchor, determined to tether truth no matter the cost. As the world burns in conflicting pasts, Lila faces the primal ledger of all time itself.

Erase herself utterly and stabilize reality.
Or ascend as goddess of false memory, reshaping history at will.

The finale to The Interim Chronicles is cosmic, brutal, and unforgettable — a villain’s last choice that will echo beyond the end of history.
