Publisher's summary

The final conflict draws nigh as demonic, necromantic, and human forces collide, and the fate of civilization hangs in the balance....

With the Order knights of Branil’s Burg defeated, the victorious Niyandrian rebels bend the knee to Anskar, their Melesh-Eloni—“godling”—and the true heir to the throne.

But despite their victory, time is running out. Anskar’s powers are unpredictable, and to some, terrifying. Already, the mainlanders plan vengeance: An armada is being prepared, not for colonization this time, but for slaughter.

And the ever-looming spirit of Queen Talia still seeks to return from the dead to begin a new necromantic empire, with her as the ever-living ruler.

As war looms, and the people of Niyas face certain destruction, Anskar’s heritage of demon blood and necromancy swells within him. But there are forces greater even than those of the sorcerous tides.... Soon he will wield enough power to save a civilization or doom an entire world.

This is the final book in the Necromancer’s Key series.

Definitely worth every credit!

The narrator's performance was exceptional. Hogan's strategic structuring of the middle books built anticipation for a vast series, though it concluded sooner than expected. As a fan of dark epic fantasy, the ending was satisfying.

Great finish to the series

This book is the strongest of the series just like a finale book should be.

Lock step-like a perfect dance.

As always, I love your books. I can't wait for the new ones to come out. Especially more stuff with Tariq.
I have to say that the third & the fourth are my most favorite out of the series but the series is just great. You have a great talent to have the characters. Really express the
way they're feeling. And have your readers can kinda connect with it, cause I Connect with it. Thank you so much for writing these books, Vanessa
