COMPLETE! Rose wasn't the only one who helped Lissa survive out in the human world. Charlotte was there, learning about the world her friends live in, and refusing to let them go. Dimitri comes to take them back, but what happens to the seemingly human girl that pulled his heart strings? With the threats and dangers that surround the last Dragomir Princess, it seems impossible to take on a ward that he grows to care for, train Rose to be the Guardian he knows she can be and protect Lissa above all else. He can't seem to choose between them...and that's very dangerous territory for the best Guardian in the Dominion.

The conclusion of The Runner series. ================================== Half a year has passed since the fall of Babel. In that time, tales of the Runner have drifted from truth into legend. There are stories of a thief who toppled an empire, whispers about a hero who sacrificed everything to free us from the iron grip of a madwoman. They say that the Runner is broken. They say that she is fearless. They say that no enemy stands a chance against her unstoppable army of warriors. They say that she fights because her veins run red with rebellion, but I know better. She fights because she has nothing left to lose.
