The Third Book in the Forged Series. 'Forged from Silver and Chaos.' People have died. Souls have become stagnant. A war that seeks to reduce the Empire to ash is inevitable. Aviana Birchwood remains as a beacon of hope, burdened with stolen magic and the head of the Empire's last hope. ------------------------------------------------- Aviana returns to find that Cadelith has fallen into chaos. The Insurgent has re-emerged, stronger in Aviana's absence. The Legion reels from the events at Aoak, struggling to hold the Empire together as the taint of the Insurgent expands into the Emperor's inner-circle. The Insurgent will do anything to make sure he doesn't fail a second time. He will reduce the world to ash. All that stands before him is the Legion, created in a time of desperation and now remains the Empire's last desperate hope of salvation.
