Age of Legend
Book 4 of the The Legends of the First Empire series
After war reshapes the alliance, survivors confront fractures among leaders and a new Fhrey strategy designed to end human resistance. Brin's record of events grows increasingly important while Suri faces the terrifying reach of her art and Persephone tries to preserve a coalition built through loss. Journeys, betrayals, and competing versions of the future push several characters beyond the roles that first made them legendary. Transitional and revelation-rich, this novel suits readers who enjoy shifting alliances, mythmaking, costly magic, and epic fantasy concerned with who controls the story after the battle.
