More than two decades in the making, the long-awaited final chapter of the Halfblood Chronicles arrives, delivering a masterful finale that fuses epic fantasy, political intrigue, and speculative science fiction.

Co-created by Grandmasters Mercedes Lackey and Andre Norton, and now completed by Mercedes Lackey and Benjamin Ohlander, every prophecy, secret, and rebellion comes to a breathtaking conclusion. The world is burning, and the elven cities are falling one by one. Amid the siege of Veridian, Lord Haldeen—the brilliant, ruthless Gatekeeper—struggles to hold together a dying empire.

As monstrous Predators rise from the wilds and the elves’ own machines turn against them, Haldeen gambles everything on a forbidden experiment that could open the way to another world... or destroy what remains of this one. As alliances fracture and old powers fall, new legends rise. The prophecy completes, the circle closes, and fantasy history is made.

Why this finale is unmissable:

• An ending fans have been waiting more than 20 years for: The long-awaited conclusion to one of fantasy’s most beloved sagas.
• A new creative team: Mercedes Lackey and Benjamin Ohlander bring fresh energy and vision while honoring the legacy of Andre Norton.
