The Last Vaelth: Virelast, Book 3
The isles are falling. And this time, there may not be enough time to save them.
When Aldergrave Isle partially collapses, Maelis Corvant and Roan Vesric discover that the damage spreading across Virelast is no longer a series of isolated disasters. The ancient bond network holding the floating isles together is failing-and someone has spent decades making sure it would.
As the Council races against an eighteen-month estimate before the damage may exceed the network's ability to compensate, Maelis and Roan help build something their world has never properly attempted: a trained network of practitioners capable of sharing bond-strength through deliberate cooperation.
But the woman behind the crisis finally steps out of the shadows.
Ilsevet Marrow, a Vaelth-scholar who survived the collapse of the previous Council sixty-one years ago, believes she has discovered the only way to prevent Virelast from suffering the same fate again. Her answer is a network of controlled bonds directed by a single will.
To Ilsevet, control is stability.
To Maelis and Roan, it is another kind of fragility.
With the isles deteriorating, Ilsevet's network reaching into the Council, and their own shared bond at the center of the conflict, Maelis and Roan must prove that trust can succeed where control failed.
Because saving Virelast may require more than defeating an enemy.
It may require convincing a woman who has spent sixty-one years preparing for catastrophe that there is another way to survive it.
