Synopsis

The explosive and reality-shattering Rages trilogy, started by The Surviving Sky, concludes as Ahilya and Iravan fight one last time to save everything they've ever loved—the survivors of humanity, their families, their home and each other. A powerful, immersive and sweeping epic fantasy like no other. "Rao is a phenomenal new voice and deserves a place alongside authors like Arkady Martine, N.K. Jemisin, and Adrian Tchaikovsky. I can’t wait to see how she wraps up this epic series!" —S.B. Divya on The Unrelenting Earth The worst has happened. The Conclave has crashed into the jungle, and humanity clings to survival in the ruins, within one last city. Equally revered and feared by her council, Ahilya desperately tries to balance the needs of her people with the untameable desires of the trapped Virohi. All Iravan sees is a crumbling bastion being eaten from the inside out. Answering to no law, he wants to destroy the Virohi before they can wipe out the human race. As Ahilya and Iravan wage war, the planet rebels, unleashing new rages of untold power. With extinction the price of their failure, the two must face up to their mistakes to forge peace between themselves – to save each other and humanity.
