What this book is about
The sixth and final Codex Alera novel brings Jim Butcher's Roman-inspired epic fantasy to its conclusion. The Vord Queen's unstoppable forces have overrun Alera, and First Lord Gaius Octavian must find a way to end the war permanently. Butcher delivers a satisfying conclusion with enormous action sequences and meaningful character payoffs. The violence is significant and sustained — this is a war story's final battle, and the cost is real.
