The ninth installment in the critically acclaimed epic fantasy series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky, War Masters Gate, takes readers on a thrilling journey as a city prepares for its final stand against the mighty imperial armies of the Empire. Having learned from past failures, the Empress is determined to conquer Collegium with an iron fist. The Empire's dominance in the skies is still unchallenged, thanks to the skilled aviators of Stenwold Maker, but their reign is soon coming to an end. In a surprising turn of events, the Empire has developed a terrifying aerial weapon that has the potential to level the battlefield. However, the fate of the war may be decided elsewhere.

In an ancient forest, where Mantis clans are engaged in a civil war, Empress Seda is on a quest to uncover a lost power from the ancient world. Cheerwell Maker, a skilled warrior, knows that he must stop Seda at any cost, as their conflict could awaken something far more dangerous. Something that would make even the clash of nations pale into insignificance.

War Masters Gate sets the stage for the thrilling conclusion to the Shadows of the Apt series, Seal of the Worm. As the Empire prepares for its final assault, the Mantis clans and Cheerwell Maker are caught in the midst of a dangerous game of power and survival. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, they must navigate through treacherous terrain and face formidable enemies to prevent the awakening of the ancient evil that threatens to destroy everything.
