Part of Darkness
First published 2014
Ember and her friends have spent months tracking down the Sword of Light, the one weapon that can kill Queen Aneira and end her grip on the world. Finding it felt like destiny confirmed. Then a pact to save the man she loves tears that certainty apart. The final book in the Darkness Series drops Ember into something worse than a rabbit hole. The world she thought she understood keeps splitting open, spilling out lies, betrayals, and secrets she was never meant to find. The fight for Earth is no longer coming. It is here. Ember has to decide how much she is willing to give up. Millions of innocent lives sit on one side of the scale. The people she loves sit on the other. She already knows what the right answer is. That does not make it any easier to live with. Some truths, she learns, were buried for a reason. Brown closes the series by pushing Ember to the absolute limit of what she can bear and then asking for more.
