    About this audiobook

    Perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo and Sara Raasch, this epic finale complete with high-stakes action and page-turning romance delivers a thrilling conclusion to Jessica Rubinkowski’s Russian folklore–based YA fantasy duology.

    Surviving the ill-fated expedition to Knnot, Valeria, Alik, and the others have found refuge in Valeria's village. Though Val should find comfort in reuniting with her family, everything has changed—including herself. For now, Val is the Pale God's chosen champion. And she is ready for revenge on the Czar.

    Gifted with the Pale God’s power, Val will do whatever it takes to liberate her people. Even if that means stealing the Czar's son away from the safety of the Winter Palace. But as Alik watches Val struggle to maintain control over the god she holds captive, it becomes clear that the Pale God plans a revenge of his own.

    The inevitable is coming: one final battle. And Valeria must be ready to sacrifice everything—even her love for Alik—to win.

      A really good conclusion to this duology! ? I loved reading about Valeria's decent into madness, the shift from subtly unhingedness to outright madness was so well done too I barely noticed to start with.
      Honestly, this was such a good duology and I loved reading it!
