The New York Times bestselling series!
Magical forces clash and Erthia hovers on the brink of ruin in the can't-miss finale of Laurie Forest's epic fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles!

Who can survive the Shadow storm?
Black Witch of prophecy Elloren Gardner Grey has unleashed her powers and embraced her legacy as a Dryad and guardian of the Forest. But the losses—of life, of love—have been almost too great to withstand as the Shadow continues to devour the world. With only a tattered shred of hope remaining, the Bearers of the Wand of Myth must battle their way back to each other to mount a final stand.
But Elloren and her allies are not only facing Mage Vogel's advancing forces—the armies of the Eastern Realm will stop at nothing to see the Black Witch struck down.
With Elloren's bonded mate prophesied to kill her, Shadow demons rising, and the ties between allies unraveling, can this fracturing world unite to face down the coming storm?

        Gr 10 Up-Mage-turned-Dryad Elloren and her allies rally their forces to stop Marcus Vogel as he continues to raze the forests of Erthia during his ethnic cleanse in this fifth and final book of the "Black Witch Chronicles." The intricate world-building is hampered by multiple invented languages and numerous points of view. Lengthy descriptions of battles and ill-placed sex scenes further slow the pacing. A bloated cast and the complete absence of Elloren for the first quarter of the novel raise questions about the true focus in this finale compared to the rest of the series. Ambitious themes of positive change and equity are undermined by the sheer amount violence including slurs, maiming, and animal death. Elloren and the other mages who have rejected their lifelong indoctrination are the driving force against Vogel, furthering a white savior narrative despite support from other magical species from this richly populated world. VERDICT A secondary purchase where romantasy in the vein of Sarah Maas is already popular.
