Synopsis
War is the eighth and final book of The House War. The Sleepers, ancient princes who have been imprisoned beneath the imperial capital, begin to wake. Jewel ATerafin must reach the Winter Queen to stop them, and on the way she faces demons and the risks of the Oracle's test. Her den-kin and the allies who have gathered around House Terafin face the waking Sleepers in Averalaan while she is away. The book closes the story that began in The Hidden City and brings together the threads left by The Sun Sword, the earlier series about the Dominion and the Empire.
