Being the universe's savior weighs heavy on Saran, as do four hundred lifetimes' worth of grief and pain. When a devastating loss brings the bleak hopelessness of the world down on her, she turns into the villain everyone feared Nakar would be. But as the Three implode, a second chance at righting her wrongs pits Saran and her found family in their final battle against Nakar.
The last artifact lies at the top of the First, in a land of death and bitter cold. Keeping it out of Nakar's hands will take more than the collective years of Saran's past lives-it will take a power she never believed existed, from a prophecy whispered before she was born. When the Living God rises, the Equitas will come to balance time.
