Spoiler-free synopsis
Al-Alawi ruled the four kingdoms for millennia, then surrendered immortality and placed his power inside a hidden sword. Only the bearer of four key-swords could reach it, leaving each kingdom to guard one piece of his legacy.
When Raoul, King of Ghosts, suddenly changed, he demanded the swords and the submission of every realm. The refusal ignited the Great Wars, destroying the giant kingdom and nearly all human lands before the final battle at Qalyun.
Three centuries into an uneasy peace, a wounded jinn messenger arrives on the day Prince Orhan becomes crown prince. A mysterious letter and an ancient poison set the Last Kingdom on the road to war—and draw Orhan into a destiny begun thousands of years before his birth.
