The eighth and final installment in the epic fantasy series concludes a beloved tale of magic and political intrigue, where new threats emerge. The Sleepers, once thought to be a myth, are ancient princes imprisoned by the gods in the ruins beneath the Empire's capital. Their prison is weakening, and they are awakening. With the gods no longer present, nothing can stop the princes when they rise, threatening to destroy Jewel's home. The only person who can halt them is the Winter Queen, an immortal figure. Jewel carries the last surviving saplings that could usher in a new Summer age, but all paths to the Queen's court are blocked. Having faced the Oracle's test, Jewel has gained control over her once-dreaded prophetic powers. Determined, she sets out to reach the Winter Queen, hoping to persuade her to save her people and everything she holds dear. However, as a mortal, time is not on her side. Demons await her along the hidden paths she must traverse, bringing battle and peril. To succeed, Jewel must confront the true meaning of the Oracle's test, risking her sanity and life to make a choice that has always loomed over the firstborn's destiny. Even then, it may already be too late.
