War has come to Carthya. It knocks at every door and window in the land. And when Jaron learns that King Vargan of Avenia has kidnapped Imogen in a plot to bring Carthya to its knees, Jaron knows it is up to him to embark on a daring rescue mission. But everything that can go wrong does.
His friends are flung far and wide across Carthya and its neighbouring lands. In a last-ditch effort to stave off what looks to be a devastating loss for the kingdom, Jaron undertakes what may be his last journey to save everything and everyone he loves.

And in the end, who will sit on Carthya's throne?
Review:
It's official. I've finished the trilogy. And now it's time for me to wave goodbye to this unforgettable cast of characters *sobs a bit*
Jaron, you are one helluva of a character. As usual, I loved his sass and how he applied his sense of humor at the right time and places. Yes, there are some serious parts in this book, but it never gets too serious thanks to his snide remarks that had me laughing. And yeesh, Jaron really gets beat up in this book...but he survives and once again proves that he also has a plan up his sleeves.
