Synopsis
Labyrinth's Heart is the third and concluding novel in the Rook & Rose trilogy, picking up after the events of The Liar's Knot as Ren continues to juggle the several identities she has built for herself in Nadezra: Renata, the noble heir she pretends to be; Arenza, the pattern-reading rebel she was raised as; and the Black Rose, a vigilante persona of her own. Alongside her uneasy allies Grey Serrado, a guard captain, and Derossi Vargo, a crime lord, she works to contain the destructive ancient magic that the three of them helped unleash in the previous book, aware that it threatens the very foundations of the city. As the situation grows more volatile, keeping her separate identities apart becomes increasingly difficult, putting everything she has built at risk of exposure.
