The Dandelion Dynasty quartet, one of the greatest fantasy series of all time (TIME MAGAZINE), comes to a thrilling conclusion in Ukyu-Gondé. Princess Théra is relentlessly pursued across a vast continent, from the hidden valleys of the World's Edge Mountains to the eerie barrows and subterranean halls of the City of Ghosts. Her mission is to bring war to the Lyucu homelands, but how can one conquer the seemingly unconquerable? Meanwhile, Empress Jia, Prince Phyro, and Pékyu Tanvanaki find themselves on paths they never would have chosen. Amidst atrocity and subterfuge, they discover that the courage of brutes is no match for the grace of kings, and that the line between the grace of kings and the madness of tyrants is blurred. As two empires, bound by blood, bone, writ, iron, time, and custom, face a whirlwind that threatens to consume them, defeat mingles with the fruits of knowledge, both new and ancient. The stage is set for an epic clash, and the teeth are on the board.
