Publisher's Summary

In the third gritty installment of the Raven's Mark series, Blackwing Captain Ryhalt Galharrow finds that all power comes with a price...

A sorcerous cataclysm has hit the Range, the final defensive line between the republic and the immortal Deep Kings.

Tormenting red rains sweep the land, new monstrosities feed on fear in the darkness, and the power of the Nameless, the gods who protect the republic, lies broken. The Blackwing captains who serve them are being picked off one by one, and even immortals have learned what it means to die. Meanwhile, the Deep Kings have only grown stronger, and they are poised to deliver a blow that will finally end the war.

Ryhalt Galharrow stands apart from it all.

He has been deeper into the wasteland known as the Misery than ever before. It has grown within him - changed him - and now the ghosts of his past, formerly confined to the Misery, walk with him everywhere.

They will even follow him - and the few surviving Blackwing captains - on one final mission into the darkness.

Critic Reviews

“This series has been truly magnificent from start to finish, and I am grateful for it.” (Peter McClean, author of Priest of Bones)

loved it

These books are very compelling and I can't help but love them. The story is wonderfully well written and the charecters are deep complex and flawed.

Well done, Ryhalt. Well done, Ed McDonald.

Blackwing was very good. Ravencry was nearly as good. Crowfall was better than either. Solid stuff. Well narrated by Colin Mace, as always. Fantastic ending to the series. I look forward to reading Ed’s future books. He’s a master storyteller.

I like the Misery

This one goes even deeper and its a fun dark bleak book. It moves quickly and has a satisfying arc. I hope to see more from this author in the same world because the landscape that the author describes are fun in their own f’d up way.

Fantastic

beautifully wrapped up, all loose ends tied up. not ready to let this story go.

Excellent wrap-up

Excellent wrap-up for Galharrow's story. As the march is on for the final battle, Ryhalt Galharrow fights his own battle for atonement of all the torment he has carried for so many years. He's an amazing character set in the perplexing setting of The Misery. I've enjoyed the memorable characters, creatures, and scenery of this totally unique world. Hope to hear more from Ed McDonald, and Colin Mace gave the perfect performance.

Awesome

Awesome. Great, original, different. Very cool.. Action, science fiction fantasy epic. Worth listening to John Lee’s narration again and again!

unique storyline. good pace.

the storyline has some very unique features. it is fast paced and has some serious grit to it. performance is great. overall a nice quality experience.

great story and narration

Colin Mace is my favorite narrator. this whole series was beautiful and I binged it in a matter of days. Definitely going to give it another read to pick up anything I might have missed

A satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, but; weaker than the first two.

This book works as a conclusion to the trilogy. It ties off the open arcs and leaves room for another series with a new protagonist.

This book doesn't work quite as well as a stand alone story. It is more a conclusion to the series than a story on its own. Ed also made a deep dive into nihilism, which got a little tedious.
