The fourth and final installment in the Warden's Son epic fantasy series.

Kasiel and his unit have become heroes in Vanris. Unfortunately, hero status makes them targets on the front lines and is no help at all with affairs of the heart. Vanris's leaders have differing opinions on what role the unit should have in the war, how much risk they should be exposed to, and how Kasiel's exceptional Feral ability should be utilized.

With his romantic relationship a mess and his life constantly in danger, Kasiel hopes he can at least protect those he cares about, though his mind-crafting seems destined to put them in harm's way. But the stakes change when he learns the dark secret behind his childhood abduction and his mother's murder. He will have to take a pivotal role in the complicated politics of war and leadership if he wants to gain control of his future and try to end the war.

More than ever, he must rely on his chosen family and beasts, but the secrets he carries could tear them apart.
