No war truly ends with the last battle... Gorgon Elfhunter–defeated, disheartened, desperate–has never given himself over to the will of another. Gaelen Taldin–reluctant Elven warrior–fights to save her sanity, her people, and her world. Lord Kotos–Persuader, Beguiler, Deceiver–ancient and deadly agent of a greater evil, faces what may be his most daunting challenge. In the final chapter of the Elfhunter trilogy, fate turns on the outcome of a cunning gambit as old as Evil itself. When arrogance blinds perception When obsession conquers reason When the urge to kill is stronger than the will to live... ...who is the real enemy? The final battle is within.
