The Lotus Kingdoms are at war, with four claimants to the sorcerous throne of the Alchemical Emperor, fielding three armies between them. Alliances are made, and broken, many times over-but in the end, only one can sit on the throne. And that one must have not only the power, but the rightful claim. Mrithuri Rajni stands as the chief claimant to the Peacock throne now, but she and her empire remain a prize to be taken unless she gets an heir. She has her allies-her cousin Sayeh, a dragon, a foreign wizard, a fearsome automaton, and the Dead Man-but the throne has the final say. And if it rejects her, the price is death.

Hugo Award-winning author Elizabeth Bear returns with the stunning conclusion to her acclaimed epic fantasy trilogy, the Lotus Kingdoms.
