The exhilarating conclusion to Taran Matharu's Sunday Times bestselling Soulbound Saga, in which the war for the empire reaches its breaking point…

Jai has sacrificed everything to protect his people. As High Khan, he has forged fragile alliances, sought out masters who could push his cultivation beyond that of a mere warrior, and fought desperate battles against the might of the Sabine Empire.

Now the stakes are higher than ever. The coalition he has painstakingly built is threatened from within by betrayal, and from without by the overwhelming armies of Emperor Titus. As dragons and gryphons clash for dominance of the skies, a single misstep could mean the end of Jai's world.

With his soulbound dragon, Winter, at his side, Jai must confront his own heritage and make impossible choices that will decide the fate of empires. To secure a future for those he loves, he may have to risk becoming the very thing he fights against.
