Caiden never wanted to be a hero, but with his Graven power he is an unlikely leader among the Cartographers and an uneasy ally of Threi Cetre, the Casthen Prime. Caiden’s childhood friend Leta attempts to recover her found family of Graves who still shield Threi’s sister Abriss. Meanwhile, Abriss uses her own Graven power to reshape the universe under Unity, bringing her vision of a peaceful universe to life—and destroying every living thing that does not fit within it. The chance to stop her may lie in Caiden, whose genetic structure has the possibility to match her power, but the cost may be his own humanity. As the forces get ready for their final battles, the fate of the multiverse lies at stake. Multiple points of view allow readers to delve into their beliefs and traumas, creating a character-driven story across space and time.
VERDICT The final book of “The Graven” trilogy, after Azura Ghost, digs deep into the multiverse, along with themes of genocide, utopian idealism, and autonomy.
