Beasts of War

In this epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Beasts of Prey fantasy series, Koffi has escaped the vengeful god of death, but her catastrophic fate is still set in motion unless she can find some way to stop it.

“A thrilling end to a lively saga.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review

“Gray brings it all home in this stunning conclusion. . . . Satisfying, unique, and empathetic.”—Booklist

Once a prisoner of Fedu, the vengeful god of death, Koffi has regained her freedom, but she is far from safe. Fedu will stop at nothing to hunt her down and use her power to decimate the mortal world. But Koffi knows when he will strike: during the next Bonding, a once-in-a-lifetime celestial event. To survive, Koffi will have to find powerful new allies quickly and convince them to help her in the terrible battle to come.

Once a warrior-turned-runaway, Ekon has carved out a new life for himself away from Lkossa, but the shadows of his past still haunt him. Alongside unexpected friends, Ekon now tries to focus on delivering Koffi to the Kusonga Plains before the Bonding. If he fails, Koffi will be consumed either by her own dangerous power or by the terrible fate Ekon is doing everything he can to prevent. Ekon devotes himself to protecting Koffi, but the lingering threats from his own past are more urgent than he knows.

As Koffi and Ekon race to the Kusonga Plains—and try to garner the help of Eshōza’s ancient gods along the way—they must face a slew of dangerous beasts old and new. In the end, destiny may unite Koffi and Ekon for the last time—or tear them apart for good.
