The Final Battle, an Urban Romantasy

The Final Battle
Book Thirteen of The Underground City Series

Everything has been leading to this.

The Forsaken is loose, and there's no more running from it. My road to Mount Purgatorio takes me straight through a wall of hellfire, past a town gutted by war, and into the middle of a scheme so reckless it might get us all killed before the real fight even starts.

Because Alaire didn't just lose control of the Forsaken. He unleashed it early, in a desperate bid to wipe out every enemy standing between him and total power. Now it's coming for everything: the Kingdom, the Underground City, and every soul caught in between. And the only thing standing in its way is a two-thousand-year-old bronze giant nobody's fully sure how to run, a weapon built from Muse blood and stolen technology, and me.

I've spent this entire journey trying to figure out who I am underneath the Herald, the Soul Retriever, the woman two men love in two very different ways. I don't have the luxury of figuring that out slowly anymore. Whatever's inside me, whatever the Self has been trying to become this whole time, I need all of it now. Tallis at my side, Bill watching my back one last time, Asterion and Ariadne fighting for the world they've chosen - we go in together, or we don't come out at all.

Alaire made his choice a long time ago, and it's about to cost him everything. The Forsaken doesn't negotiate, doesn't bargain, and doesn't stop. If we fail, there's no next mission, no next soul to retrieve, no next chance.

This is the last stand. This is everyone I love, everything I've built, and the whole afterlife on the line.

And when the smoke clears, someone is going to have to decide what happens after the fighting stops - because "after" was never a guarantee.
