Night of the Dragon by Julie Kagawa

Night of the Dragon (Shadow of the Fox, #3)

by Julie Kagawa

Evil and hope clash and burn in the epic and shocking conclusion to the Shadow of the Fox trilogy.

'One of my all-time favourite fantasy novels!' Ellen Oh, author of the Prophecy and Spirit Hunters series, on Shadow of the Fox

All is lost.

Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has given up the final piece of the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, in order to save everyone she loves from imminent death. Now she and her ragtag band of companions must journey to the wild sea cliffs of Iwagoto in a desperate last-chance effort to stop the Master of Demons from calling upon the Great Kami dragon and making the wish that will plunge the empire into destruction and darkness.

But even with their combined skills and powers, this most unlikely team of heroes knows the forces of Evil may be impossible to overcome. And there is another player in the battle for the scroll, a player who has been watching, waiting for the right moment to pull strings that no one even realized existed...until now.

Omg I'm not crying, you're crying.

I read a LOT of YA fantasy, and I can generally guess how things will wrap up, but this one did a number on me. It was a brilliant ending to a brilliant trilogy and I am going to go home tonight and hope to dream about what happened after the epilogue. Just, wow. My heart is battered and bruised and yet hopeful and happy.
