It’s time for war.
After suffering terrible losses, Henrietta and Lord Blackwood have led their warriors to Sorrow-Fell, a vast estate where only those invited by a Blackwood may enter–and the ideal place to plan a final assault against the Ancients.
It’s time for a wedding.
Henrietta nervously awaits her marriage to Blackwood, but when the ritual to become his bride reveals a dark secret, she realizes that Sorrow-Fell is not a safe haven; it’s a trap. Convincing the sorcerers of this, however, is not easy. So with Maria, the true chosen one, and Magnus, the young man who once stole her heart, at her side, Henrietta plots a dangerous journey straight into the enemy’s lair. Some will live. Some will die. All will be tested.
In this stunning conclusion to the Kingdom on Fire series, Henrietta must choose between the love from her past, the love from her present, and a love that could define her future. While battles rage, the fate of the kingdom rests on her decision: Will she fall or rise up to become the woman who saves the realm?
It’s time for Henrietta to make her stand.

Review:
So...I honestly don’t know how to feel right about now. And to risk giving anything away, I’ll kindly let you all know that my heart was shattered and kind of pt back together in the end. I’ve obviously shipped a certain gentleman throughout the whole series; as many of you have as well. I’ve been quiet about who it is but after this book...let’s just say my heart hurts. Just a little bit.
If you haven’t already started these books, I’d like to point out that this is the third book—please start with A Shadow Bright and Burning. Not only are the covers all gorgeous but the writing and prose are perfection. I fell in love with the world and all the characters inside of it. There’s been many references from other reviews and from marketing that this is Harry Potter meets Jane Eyre. If those books are up your alley, then it’s no question about whether you should read these or not.
This book is all about the war and Henrietta, Blackwood, and gang doing their best to try and save the country. On top of that, she’s set to be married to Blackwood, but nothing is ever that easy. With her friends by her side, Henrietta will do everything in her power to save those she loves.
With the way the blurb was worded, I was very scared to start the book. I shouldn’t have been scared because Cluess knocked it out of the park. It left me feeling breathless from the twists and turns it had. Of course in the end, my heart was in bittersweet pieces. Especially bittersweet that the trilogy is over. I’m always sad to see characters go when I’ve become attached.
