Synopsis

From the author of The Bone Shard Daughter comes the final book in the Drowning Empire series, as the fate of Lin Sukai—and her family’s dynasty—lay in her hands in this action-packed, magic-laced epic fantasy.

Lin Sukai has won her first victory as Emperor, but the future of the Phoenix Empire hangs in the balance – and Lin is dangerously short of allies. 

As her own governors plot treason, the Shardless Few renew hostilities. Worse still, Lin discovers her old nemesis Nisong has joined forces with the rogue Alanga, Ragan. Both seek her death.  

Yet hopes lies in history. Legend tells of seven mythic swords, forged in centuries past. If Lin can find them before her enemies, she may yet be able to turn the tide.  
 
If she fails, the Sukai dynasty – and the entire empire – will fall.

Goodreads review by Jasmine on June 07, 2023

The Bone Shard War answers all the questions from the previous books and has a bittersweet ending. This third and final book takes place two years after the events in Book Two. Lin’s grasp on the empire is still slippery, even after defeating the construct army. She’s up against the Shardless Few, R......more

Goodreads review by Samantha on April 28, 2023

3.5 stars (+ half a star just for Mephi) The Drowned Empire is one of the most unique and engaging fantasy series that I have ever read. The world is rich and intricate and the characters are very easy to root for. Unfortunately, The Bone Shard War is a lackluster conclusion to an amazing series. I k......more

Goodreads review by Maisha on June 28, 2023

The story felt a little silly by the end. However, I enjoyed my time reading this book. I finished it within a day. So of course it was very engaging...yet I feel underwhelmed. I had really really high hopes and the book failed to deliver accordingly Full review to come..........more
