      Fate has intertwined the lives of Lan and Zen as the Demon Gods rise and Skies's End falls to colonizers. Though they have chosen opposing paths, their destinies are inextricably linked. Lan, wielding the power of the Silver Dragon, believes the Demon Gods are the source of chaos and must find the Godslayer, the only weapon capable of eliminating them and saving her kingdom. Meanwhile, Zen believes that harnessing the power of the Demon Gods is the key to liberating the Last Kingdom. Having bound the Black Tortoise, he faces the dire consequence of losing his body, mind, and soul. Yet, he knows he needs more than one Demon God to combat the colonizers. In the northern Mansorian ruins lies a magical army of demonic practitioners, but Zen must locate the Seal to awaken them. Central to both their quests is Shaklahira, a former Imperial Court stronghold that may hold the secrets they seek, yet its hidden past could pose greater dangers than they anticipate. As the battle for the Last Kingdom intensifies, Lan must confront her feelings for Zen. Ultimately, she faces a harrowing choice: can she kill the boy she loves to save her people?
