Kingdom of Ash
Synopsis
The concluding volume of the Throne of Glass series brings every thread of seven books to convergence. Aelin Galathynius, captured by the Fae queen Maeve at the end of Empire of Storms, is being tortured in a bid to break her will and use her power to forge a new Wyrdkey. Rowan and her companions tear the world apart searching for her. Meanwhile the armies of Erawan march, Terrasen is besieged, and every alliance Aelin spent the series building is now called to its purpose. Kingdom of Ash is the longest book in the series — over 900 pages — and the most operationally complex: multiple armies, multiple POV characters, and converging storylines across two continents. It is written in the awareness that every character who has survived to this point has earned their place, and it does not spare them. The resolution it delivers is hard-won, earned across seven books, and Maas has said she wrote the final pages first.
