"Laia, Elias, and Helene must risk everything to defeat their foes--both human and supernatural--and prevent the coming of an otherworldly maelstrom"--
"The long-imprisoned jinn are on the attack, wreaking bloody havoc. But for the Nightbringer, vengeance on his human foes is just the beginning. By his side, Commandant Keris Veturia declares herself Empress and calls for the heads of any and all who defy her rule. At the top of the list? The Blood Shrike and her remaining family. Laia of Serra, now allied with the Blood Shrike, is determined to stop the approaching apocalypse and throws herself into the destruction of the Nightbringer. In the process, she awakens an ancient power that could lead her to victory -- or to an unimaginable doom. And deep in the Waiting Place, the Soul Catcher seeks to forget the life -- and love -- he left behind. But to uphold his oath and protect the human world from the supernatural, the Soul Catcher must look beyond the borders of his own land. He must take on a mission that could save -- or destroy -- all that he knows."
