The Shadow Claw has fallen.

Or so they thought.

When the ashes clear, a darker truth emerges. The real enemy waits beyond their world and only by stepping through the veil can Bridget, Jorrie, Jack, and their families hope to end the war for good. Old friends make new connections and enemies become allies. But destiny always demands a price.

As the boundaries of love and friendship are tested in the fire of battle, one of them must choose between life and sacrifice.
Will their found family endure? Or will the final stand against darkness tear everything apart. To save the world one must fall.

Prepare yourself for the explosive conclusion to Modern Legends of Dragon’s and Shadows.

Where sacrifice forges legends and love burns brighter than the dark.

Emotional payoffs, explosive battles, and characters I didn’t want to say goodbye to. This is how you finish a fantasy romance series.

A new battlefield – The Shadow Claw may be dead, but a far‑more ancient void yawns open, spilling nightmares into the sky. To seal it, our heroes must step through the veil, leaving behind everything familiar.
Unexpected alliances – Former foes, twisted by fate and desperation, will extend tentative hands. Trust will have to be rebuilt on the shaky ground of shared survival.
A price of destiny – Love, loyalty, and sacrifice will clash in a heart‑wrenching decision that could shatter their fledgling family forever. One of them will have to choose between life and the ultimate sacrifice—because in a war that spans worlds, the only way to save everything is to let something fall.
Will Bridget’s fierce protectiveness be enough to keep her clan together? Can Jorrie’s quiet resolve bridge the gulf between realms? And will Jack’s unyielding bravery finally tip the scales toward redemption—or doom? All this is answered through the pages of this tale.

The answers lie in a story that blends high‑octane fantasy with raw, human emotion—a narrative where dragons roar, shadows whisper, and destiny demands its toll. As the final stand against the encroaching darkness draws near, every heartbeat, every whispered promise, and every broken sword will echo in the annals of legend.

A wonderful tale that kept me entertained until the very end.
