The Broken Heavens

The Dhai nation lies in ruins after the Tai Mora, invaders from a parallel world, tore it apart. Kirana, who leads the invaders, has made her base in the temple of Oma. Her astrologers are working to find a way to use that ancient holy place to seal the passage between the worlds.

The Dhai are regrouping under Lilia. On every side the survivors are scattered, compromised or scheming, so no camp can count on loyal allies. War has ravaged every connected world, and Oma is failing. Only one world can survive.

This is grimdark epic fantasy and the third and final volume of the Worldbreaker Saga by Kameron Hurley, following The Mirror Empire and Empire Ascendant. It is best read after those two books. The series also exists in a single omnibus edition for anyone starting from the beginning.

The story turns on the moral cost of choosing which world lives. Expect a bleak, hard-edged tone, with large-scale war on every front and a question that has no clean answer: who is saved, and who is sacrificed.
