A political scion and her magically bound fire warlock must face their greatest fears to save the Empire from a ruthless enemy in the explosive conclusion of a spellbinding fantasy trilogy from David Gemmell Award-nominated author Melissa Caruso. 
While winter snows keep the Witch Lord Ruven's invading armies at bay, Lady Amalia Cornaro and the fire warlock Zaira attempt to change the fate of mages in the Raverran Empire forever, earning the enmity of those in power who will do anything to keep all magic under tight imperial control. But in the season of the Serene City's great masquerade, Ruven executes a devastating surprise strike at the heart of the Empire — and at everything Amalia holds most dear.
To stand a chance of defeating Ruven, Amalia and Zaira must face their worst nightmares, expose their deepest secrets, and unleash Zaira's most devastating fire.

      The third book in the "Swords and Fire" trilogy finds Amalia and fire warlock Zaira fighting magician Ruthven, who is trying to destroy the empire. Amalia strives to get a law passed that will protect mages from being conscripted into the military and subservient jobs. But providing such freedom may weaken the Kingdom. Ruthven seeks to undermine the empire with strategically placed look-alikes who can enact his plans. The annual masquerade ball is intricately described and perfectly sets the rich political intrigue into motion. Will Amalia and Zaira be able to save the empire? VERDICT Caruso's worldbuilding is brilliant and complex enough that this work stands on its own, but readers will get more out of the series if they start from the beginning.
