Thomas Senlin was looking for his wife in the previous parts and he was lucky that he was able to forge a great team. Then he made a big decision because of which his team got separated and now they are fighting for their lives and at the same time they want to find each other as well.
Senlin is sent to Pelphia by the sphinx because there is an investigation that is needed on a serious note. When Senlin reaches the place along with a new team, he gets amazed to see the arena where the hods are destined to fight for the purpose of sheer entertainment and nothing else.
As the team moves into the inner circle they confront bigger trouble too i.e Violeta who was trying to get closer to the prince gets trapped in a serious thing. The prince gets attracted to her and wants to have her at any cost. This disturbs the entire mission and the safety of the band along with its true identity is compromised completely. Josiah Bancroft never started the series as a simple story but here it gets more complicated than ever.
No one is going anywhere with his or her mission because everyone gets trapped in this world of magic and suspense. Only getting to the Hod King could solve the problems but no one knows if he really exists or not. Just like The Fall of Babel and Arm of the Sphinx, John Banks narrates this final part of the series according to the expectations of the fans. It is a wonderful thriller that can never be left aside by any fantasy lover.
