The final book in a fast-paced fantasy adventure series set in a broken, future England, from the author of the bestselling Lockwood & Co series.

Scarlett McCain and Albert Browne have raided their way across the Seven Kingdoms and eluded capture for two more years, gathering other outlaws to their cause. They are set on taking down the Faith Houses and their oppressive regime, and finding out the truth about Stonemoor.

But they also have an even more impossible mission: to find Scarlett’s brother, who she was separated from years before. In a world teeming with man-eating Tainted, Faith House operatives out for their blood and wilderness full of dangerous animals, is there a hope that one boy may have survived – and that they can find him?

The thrilling final book in a phenomenal trilogy from the bestselling author of Lockwood & Co.

Exhilarating and explosive, humorous and heartfelt, imaginative and irreverent - this trilogy is storytelling perfection. * A.F. Steadman *
a fitting conclusion to the trilogy […] If you haven’t as yet had the good fortune to read either of the titles that precede this one, I suggest you do. * World’s Smallest Library *
