The Infernal Battalion

The fifth and final book in Django Wexler's Shadow Campaigns brings the flintlock-fantasy epic to its reckoning. The brilliant general who once led Vordan to victory has become its gravest danger: possessed by an ancient power and at the head of an unstoppable army, he marches on the country he once served, and the demon riding within him means to remake the world.

Now the soldiers who followed him must become his enemies. Marcus d'Ivoire is handed command of the armies raised to stop the man he most admired. Winter Ihernglass, changed by everything she has endured, carries a burden that may be the only thing capable of ending the threat. And Queen Raesinia must hold a fracturing nation together long enough to survive the final campaign. Old loyalties, hidden sorcery, and hard sacrifices collide as the series' long war reaches its climax.

Sweeping and battle-driven, The Infernal Battalion closes the saga of magic, revolution, and empire that began in The Thousand Names. It is best read after the earlier four volumes.
