And every third person seems to be spontaneously manifesting magical powers. Half the nobility in her court want her deposed, and the other half question her every decision. With an influx of magic-bearing refugees pouring across the border, resources already thinned by war are stretched to the breaking point. But as she quickly discovers, wearing a crown is quite a different thing from keeping a crown. Caught up in Elanna Valtai’s revolution, Sophy has become the reigning monarch of a once-divided country-a role she has been groomed her whole life to fill. Separated from her birth mother, raised by parents mourning the loss of their true daughter, and unacknowledged by her father, Sophy desires only a place and a family to call her own. One young woman learns the true nature of power-both her own and others’-in the riveting conclusion to The Waking Land Trilogy.“Bates brilliantly concludes an impressive high fantasy trilogy with this tale of scheming and magic.”-Publishers Weekly (starred review) Sophy Dunbarron-the illegitimate daughter of a king who never was-has always felt like an impostor.
