YOUR HOME FOR SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY
FIVE HEROES. NO HOPE. A WAR AGAINST DEVILS.
Once a warrior queen, now a pariah among her own people, Cold Zosia wakes in the ashes of a burning city. Her vengeance has brought her to this – her heroic reputation in tatters, her allies scattered far and wide and her world on the cusp of ruin.
General Ji-Hyeon has vanished into the legendary First Dark, leaving Sullen alone to carry out the grim commands of a dead goddess. The barbarian Maroto is held captive by a demonic army hell-bent on the extermination of the Crimson Empire, and only his protégé Purna believes he can be saved.
Zosia must rally her comrades and old enemies one last time for a battle that will prove the greatest of her many legends . . . if anyone lives to tell of it.

A surprising and fun read . . . witty and dark, right from the first line
The final installment of the Crimson Empire series is the best of them all. Marshall's weaving of the tale is engaging and exciting, giving readers just enough hope that the ragtag band will prevail. Marshall is a master of imagery, giving a rich setting to the story and painting a picture that transcends the page. Fans of Zosia and her crew will not be disappointed in the ending of this tale
A joy to fall into . . . will suit any quest-lover looking for a new addiction
