Synopsis
The final volume of the Destinies of Blood and Stone brings old questions to unexpected answers and ancient prophecies to pass. Prince Tristan and Princess Shailiha, the Chosen Ones who alone can unite the sundered powers of the Vigors and the Vagaries, are struggling to master the magical substance known as subtle matter, while a new threat born of an ancient Vagaries spell surfaces in Eutracia. As Tristan sets out on a risky mission into the empire of Rustannica for a final confrontation with its ruler, Vespasian, Shailiha stays behind to fight the Viper Lord and his murderous horde, and their lives are changed for ever, at a cost that may be impossibly high.
