The apocalyptic final volume of The Song of the Tears fantasy trilogy...

From Ian Irvine- ' It’s a big book, around 700 pages, and I’m really pleased with it; I think it brings the 11 books of the Three Worlds saga to a good end with all sorts of loose ends, some relating back to the ending of The Way between the Worlds, now tied up. But of course, there‘s another little teaser at the end, which relates to the wrap up book I planned long ago, called The Fate of the Children. Destiny has a great cover, which you can see on the front page of my site'

Note: Release date for UK/Europe/Canada is January 2009.

Book Info - Nish and his few remaining allies are trapped on the Range of Ruin, surrounded by the relentless army of his father, the God-Emperor. Nish's only choices are a humiliating surrender, or a suicidal fight to the death. Yet Nish has to fight, and somehow he has to win, for the world of Santhenar faces a colossal threat? and Nish is a fighter in a land whose spirit was broken long ago. A shape-shifting being by the name of Stilkeen has broken out of the void, and is preparing to wreak devastation. It has come to reclaim the stolen chthonic power that once bound its physical and spirit aspects together ? and its fury is infinite. But chthonic fire has already been released into Santhenar, and is eating its way through the Antarctic territories. Even if Nish can win the battle with his father, there may be no way to stop the fire, or Stilkeen, before everything is consumed.
