HOW FAR WOULD YOU GO TO FULFILL A DEAD KING’S DREAM?
After years of struggle and sacrifice, Falcio val Mond, First Cantor of the Greatcoats, is on the brink of fulfilling his final mission: Aline, the king’s daughter, is about to take the throne and restore the rule of law once and for all.
But for the Greatcoats, nothing is ever that simple. In the neighboring country of Avares, an enigmatic new warlord is uniting the barbarian armies that have long plagued Tristia’s borders–and even worse, he is rumored to have a new ally: Trin, who’s twice tried to kill Aline to claim the throne of Tristia for herself. With the armies of Avares at her back, led by a bloodthirsty warrior, she’ll be unstoppable.
The final book in the acclaimed Greatcoats quartet of swashbuckling adventures that have gathered praise from fantasy publications, readers, and bestselling authors.
Falcio, Kest, and Brasti race north to stop Trin from gathering an army, but in those cold and treacherous climes they discover something altogether different, and far more dangerous: a new player is planning to take the throne of Tristia, and with a sense of dread the three friends realize that the Greatcoats, for all their skill, may not be able to stop him.
As the nobles of Tristia and even the Greatcoats themselves fight over who should rule, the Warlord of Avares threatens to invade. With so many powerful contenders vying for power, it will fall to Falcio to render the one verdict he cannot bring himself to utter, much less enforce. Should he help crown the young woman he vowed to put on the throne, or uphold the laws he swore to serve?

A 5 star book for ending this series and itself well
I cried like 4 times during this book. Wasn't supposed to be this emotional. CAWPILECharactersValiana—has the blood rage. Uses it to great effect. Dumps her stupid duke lover cause he's dumb. Filian Aline's Sister King's Son—Stands up to Trin at the end and exiles her. Wants to be better. I grew to like him a little more everytime he was on scene.Aline – How dare you do this to me. How DARE you kill Aline. Knew what she was doing and what would happen. Stupid Falcio for not acting sooner.Falcio- tons of character work for him. Grew an intense amount. Broke down and wrestled with following the Law or following Justice. Tried to not follow either and it crushed him more. AtmosphereWritingGreat Prose, beautifully written. Great use of foreshadowing in this bookPlotFalcio has to save the world but almost burns it down. Goes West finds Avereans prepping for war Led by Morn, and the missing greatcoats. Gets captured escapes with Trin, and Filian; loses Trin Falcio Breaks down; attempts to coup, but is betrayed, by fake coup. Aline dies protecting Filian, Jillard dies protecting Aline; Breaks down again. First Cantor decision to save the country. Trial for the country. Goes west again bringing final Army. Fight against Avereans. Chalmers Ride of Scorn. 7 vs 1000. Everything getting better but not 100% fixed. Death, Love and Valour. Kest joins the Honori, Brasti the Ragnereti, and Falcio retires with Ethalia.InvestmentGreat end to the series and a great book.

The fights, the decisisons all felt real and earned.EnjoymentLove thisMiscDoes everyone have a background in betrayal (girl he rescues)Death kneels for him.
