When the gods go to war, who will stand against their divine fury?

In the thrilling conclusion to the A Fire Beneath the Skin trilogy, the enchanted kingdom of Helva faces a nightmarish future of endless bloodshed, and Rina Veraiin—a young warrior-duchess armed with mysterious, magical tattoos—must use her fantastic powers to save her home from eternal war.

As her far-flung friends scour Helva for additional tattoos to increase her formidable abilities, Rina reckons with an enigmatic death priest...the one whose contract grants her extraordinary magic but demands an awful price. When her debt comes due, can Rina make the ultimate sacrifice?

Deities clash and allies succumb as Rina strives to fulfill her obligation and confront her strange and shocking destiny. Becoming an ink mage taxed Rina's resources to their very limits; now she must become something else, something more, something awesome and terrible.

If she fails, her world will fall.

Fantastic ending to an excellent trilogy

This collection of books is outstanding. The base story and development of characters is so on point. I can wait till the next book. The narrator is top notch.

Great book in a series of excellent books.

Only one glitch, I think. When Marasan and the Bishop arrived at the palace, they shouldn't have known Brasley was there. (Please excuse spelling errors on names if any, I listen to the audio) All 3 books were awesome. Kudos to the narrator. Wonderful job separating characters.

Awesome

I really liked the book and the rationale behind the magic. It just seemed like the ending was rushed like the author was told in the middle of the 3rd book to end it

A little rushed

Most characters are just stereotypes of themselves. The female characters are strong and powerful, but only when necessary for the story. Otherwise they're catty,vain and need to be saved. Just when you think the characters grow, they slide back to their original dimensions. The ending leaves a lot to be desired.

Meh
