The explosive conclusion to the award-winning Powder Mage trilogy.
The capital has fallen . . .
Field Marshal Tamas has finally returned to Adopest, only to find the capital in the hands of a foreign power. With his son Taniel presumed dead, Tamas must gather his beleaguered forces and formulate a plan to defeat the Kez - no easy task when you're outnumbered and can't tell friend from foe.
The army is divided . . .
With their enemy bearing down on them, the Adran command is in disarray. Someone, it seems, is selling secrets to the Kez. Inspector Adamat is determined to flush out the traitor, but as the conspiracy unravels, he will learn a horrifying truth.
And all hope rests with one man . . .
Taniel Two-Shot, the powder mage who shot a god in the eye, is on the run. He possesses the sole means of defeating the Kez, but to do so he must evade treachery at every turn. If he fails, Adro will fall.

The story is interesting and a lot of the characters are cool to read (except for Adamat, his povs are soooo boring), but at the same time I was never thrown into the story. While Sanderson's and Rothfuss' books let you forget you are just reading words on paper, this one always kept my imagination from flowing.
This series is a missed opportunity, sadly.
It's still enjoyable though.
