BEASTS OF WAR

The much-anticipated finale to New York Times bestselling Beasts of Prey Trilogy.

Koffi, once a servant to the god of death, has gained her freedom, but lost something vital: the connection to her ancestral magic. Worse still, though she is free, her former captor grows stronger by the day, and seeks to finalize his conquest of Eshoza. Defeated and broken, she must quickly rally and find a way to restore her lost power. All hope lies in the Swallow, the forbidden wasteland known for its ancient and volatile magic. Learning to channel this new magic may be the key to Koffi's redemption - or, the catalyst to her final ruin.

Ekon, a warrior-turned-runaway, has rescued Koffi from the island of death, but now carries new secrets about his family's dark origins. A generations-old curse entraps the souls of his ancestors, and their only chance at freedom lies in the very person Koffi seeks to destroy: the god of death himself. As the two of them venture into the Swallow, getting closer and closer to restoring her power, Ekon is also getting closer to an impossible last choice: salvation for his family, or for the girl he loves.

As Koffi and Ekon race to find the last traces of Eshoza's magic to save all they hold dear, so too must they contend with their hardest challenges yet. New monsters await in the depths of the Swallow, and a pantheon of tempermental gods and goddesses are gathering for celestial war overhead. In the end, destiny may be the very thing that unites Koffi and Ekon for the last time - or, the thing that tears them and the continent apart forever.
