In the aftermath of battle, a truth is laid bare-the world, and the people within it, are not as they appear. Adrift without an anchor and nursing a broken heart, Lidan steels herself for a task she never thought would fall to her-to hunt down the architect of the horrors that have plagued the South Lands for years. Ranoth stands on a precipice, his plans in tatters. The path forward leads as easily home as to death. Hungry for answers, he and Lidan set out in pursuit of a common enemy, for dark and fathomless powers are moving beneath the surface of Coraidin. The unseen realms have awoken and within them, ancient feuds flare to life. A new and deadly threat looms, and an old bargain will be struck anew. Will Lidan and Ran survive the coming storm to finish what they have begun? Empire of Shadows is epic conclusion to The Coraidic Sagas trilogy.
