"A superior epic fantasy, driven by strong characterization and a sense of utter desperation." -Booklife Reviews Editor's Pick."A Cracking page-turner with an unlikely group of misfits." - PrairieS Book Review"Hunt exemplifies how to make heroes shine within the large cast of a sprawling saga." - Kirkus Reviews"A skyrocketing plot interspersed with deliciously entertaining and well-constructed scenes of fierce battles and magic." - BookView Reviews Recommended Read"A great read with strong characterization. It's likely to appeal to fans of epic fantasy novels such as those of Brandon Sanderson and Robert Jordan." - Reedsy DiscoveryTheir world was ending, all the heroes were dead, the leaders confused, and their enemies were head and shoulders above them. But there was no one else; they were the dregs, the last worst hopes.Nehring Ardgour has summoned Skoll and Hati from hell. They have torn through the proud and ancient country of Engevelen and the angelic Methueyn Knights that protect it. Armies have died, cities have fallen. None of the great remain. No brilliant inventors, no powerful knights, no master wizards.No heroes.But it gets worse. Farrah Harbinger has looked into the future and foretells the coming of an enemy worse than all the others, a creature of destruction and entropy like no other. A being who will grind all hopes and memory of civilization into dust: the One, True Devil.Who can stop it? Who is left to even try?Surely not Val, an arrogant young wizard who no one takes seriously, or Mick, an old man who can't even remember his name. Certainly not Dav, who cannot seem to tell left from right or up from down, or Aveline, a squire filled with more questions than courage. No one would pick them to save the world, and yet there is no one else left.

⚡️"This is a sterling end to a rich, concept-driven series." - Booklife Reviews (Editor''s Pick)"Strong characters face a maelstrom in this intense, intellectually rigorous fantasy series finale." -Kirkus ReviewsWould you trade uncertainty for stagnation, chance for god, invention for inertia, thought for dogma?Four years have passed since the events of Dynamicist and war is on the horizon.Robert, Koria, Eloise and Gregory went to the New School, hoping to change the world. They thought that mathematically based dynamics, the enlightened age''s answer to wizardry, would give them the power to make everything better. Their hopes were naive.Protestors are condemning the creation of a new vaccine. The city is seeing a series of hangings; is it murder or sacrament? The cloaked man is back stalking students. The long-absent demons Skoll and Hati reappear and begin slaughtering whoever they meet. But the real question is, will Nimrheal return? If he does, who will die first?Uncertainty is inspiring fear, and inventions are not making the world better, only more complicated. The terrified civilians don''t want dynamics and reason. They want the word of Elysium and the return of the Methueyn Knights.Koria fears the world faces an awful conundrum: that if the Knights return, Nimrheal will stay.Will Robert, Koria, Eloise and Gregory choose to transform into angelic knights or, at the cost of such heavenly communion, instead banish Nimrheal? What price will be paid? If a new Methueyn Knight rises, will the age of invention disappear forever?

Would it kill you to create something genuinely new? In Robert’s world, it used to. Supernatural vengeance for invention is now a thing of the past.Young, optimistic, quick of mind and quick to act, Robert thinks being invited to the New School is an invitation to change the world. But change is difficult when there is no history of innovation. He is initially successful in his studies, but nothing is as simple as he naively imagines. His classmates confuse and frustrate him. One is a drunk, while another two constantly stalk him. Is it for love or something more sinister?Robert’s optimism is further tested by protestors who circle the campus, decrying the newly invented breed of grain. They claim it is poison and that the New School should be punished by Nimrheal, the god who formerly murdered inventors. Robert suspects foreign business influences are behind the protests, but he quickly finds that investigating their cause is dangerous.Robert’s most difficult challenges are his unresolved childhood issues. His mother died while he was a child. Robert’s formative helplessness and inability to remember her face projects into a powerful and blinding protectiveness towards all women. When a campus assault pushes Robert over the edge, his hopes of even staying at the New School are jeopardized. He cannot aspire to change the world if he does not even know himself.At the same time as Robert struggles on campus, a powerful, ruthless and emotionally closed man known only as the Lonely Wizard journeys across an empty wilderness to return home. As Robert and the Lonely Wizard move closer together, Robert finds that instead of entering a golden era of invention, he may instead be on the brink of a cold war and an endless, unchanging dark age.
