Transcendent

Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series, this action-packed, undeniably romantic saga that began with Starling and intensified in Descendant comes to an epic conclusion in Transcendent.

On a terrace high above the streets of Manhattan, Mason Starling holds the fate of the world—and of her love, Fennrys—in her hands. For it has all come down to this. Mason Starling has completed her father's vision and become a Valkyrie—a chooser of the slain and the one who will ultimately bring about the end of the world.

But she is determined that what happens next is not what the prophecy foretold, or what her father has planned, or what the fates have already decided. What happens next is up to Mason and Fennrys. Or is it?

• Gods and Monsters: In a New York City teeming with ancient power, Mason must navigate a world of Norse gods, werewolves, and a love that could trigger Ragnarok.
• Forbidden Love: She’s a Valkyrie destined to bring ruin. He’s the boy she’d die to protect. Their fated connection puts everything at stake.
• Epic Series Conclusion: The breathtaking final chapter of the Starling saga, where every choice could be the last and the fate of the world hangs in the balance.
• Defy Your Destiny: With her father’s dark plans unfolding and prophecy closing in, Mason must forge her own path to save everyone she loves.

On a storm-swept terrace high above the streets of Manhattan, Mason Starling holds the fate of the world in her hands as her beloved Fennrys lies bleeding at her feet, his life hanging in the balance. The ancient Norse prophecy of Ragnarok stands poised on the knife's edge of fulfillment. Mason's transformation into a Valkyrie—a chooser of the slain and the one who will ultimately bring about the end of the world—is complete. Still, she remains determined to thwart her father's apocalyptic desires.

But whatever is to come won't happen because of a prophecy, what Gunnar Starling plans, or what the fates have already decided. What happens next will be up to Mason and the Fennrys Wolf. And the world had better hope they haven't reached the limits of what their souls and swords can survive.

Lesley Livingston has taken intense action and breathtaking romance to new heights in this epic conclusion to the Starling trilogy—a story readers will not want to put down.
