Kraetos D'narian's attempts to control Ash and the abilities of the Old Souls failed for the moment. But not without nearly destroying Ash in the process. Forced to flee Th'rann to escape his power-hungry father, Ash turns toward repairing the damage caused by the dark magic influence of shadow and bone-runes.
It turns out that detaching himself from Kraetos isn't as easy as fleeing to another planet. Saving himself and his people, along with planets Th'rann, Zawhe, and Earth, is far more complicated. What will it take for him to win back his agency, keep Th'rann from spiraling into a world war, and ensure the safety of those he holds dear?
L.A. Goodman continues to take my breath away with the Ash Bennett Story! She captures complex feelings SO well! This is such a well written novel! There are things I will not name here because, spoilers, but I HAVE to know more. I HAVE to. So, I anxiously await Book 6! How on Earth, or more appropriately, Th'rann is this story going to end?!?!
