author: Taylor, Laini
description: WHAT POWER CAN BRUISE THE SKY?
  
  Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera's rebellion 1 and is intent on steering its, course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her.
  
  When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited -- not in love, but in a tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves.
  
  But with even bigger threats on the horizon; are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters?
  
  The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as -- from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond -- humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.
