The war for Taitala’s future has begun. For nearly a year, Will Hawthorne has worked to rescue his adopted world from extinction – yet everything he has achieved as the Makalang is now threatened. Sheedlyn, the former leader of the Gates of the Golden Staff, is leading a massive army of undead basayangs on the city of Yama-Kana, bent on destroying everyone and everything he holds dear. Desperately outnumbered, Will’s forces must fight an unorthodox war to stop the basayangs from reaching Yama-Kana, a war that stretches from the wilderness around the great lake to the gates of the city. As Sheedlyn’s army closes in, Will must leverage new secrets he learns from the reclusive diynang in hopes of saving his world once and for all. The Silver Crown is the eighth and concluding book in The Makalang series and contains explicit adult scenes and graphic violence.
