Booklist - 10/15/2011 To cure her father, who has become one of Prince Rodolfo’s inhuman Gray Men, Petra will risk everything in this thrilling, heartfelt conclusion to the Kronos Chronicles. Rodolfo is poised to inherit the Hapsburg Empire, and war is coming. As Petra and Tomik search for Fiala Broshek, who created the Gray Men, Neel is pinned down at the Roma homeland after learning, to his dismay, that he is heir to the throne. Rutkoski keeps the focus on daring, clever Petra and her friends amid a backdrop of violent rebellions, necessary alliances, and courageous sacrifices. Bittersweet yet hopeful, with an understated romance, this is a fitting finale for a distinctive series. - Copyright 2011 Booklist.
