The Lion King Arrives
Fires are burning inside the ramparts. The survivors of Quraite are gathered around them, beaten down, grieving, barely holding it together. And then Hamanu of Urik walks through the trees.
Ending
A Zulkir's Gift and a Queen's True Name
This is the payoff. Two chapters. Everything the book has been building toward lands here, and it lands in a way I genuinely did not expect from a D&D novel.
Into the Light - The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King Chapter 15
Book: The Rise and Fall of a Dragon King | Author: Lynn Abbey | Series: Chronicles of Athas, Book 5
The Last Chapter
This is it. The final chapter. And Abbey opens it not with Hamanu, but with Ruari, the young half-elf druid, wedged into the corner of his bed, so drunk he thinks he might die. When a woman appears in his doorway, he literally thinks she’s Death come to claim him.
