"Will’s journey from naïve apprentice to a mature wizard is almost complete and his ever-growing mastery has reached unseen heights. But his power does not exist in a vacuum. His rising star threatens to eclipse the existing powers and a new balance must be found, one that either accepts his primacy or extinguishes his light.
After Will’s resounding successes in the war with Darrow the king plots to eliminate his young rival. Driven to desperation, Will is forced to negotiate for scraps between four brokers of power. An ancient lich driven by vengeance. The fae queen to whom all are just pawns in a deadly game. A nervous lord of Hell, because Will may have killed his predecessor, twice. A primal beast, feared above all.
With mortal enemies as his allies, Will must survive to face the king—and the deadly secret he plans to unleash. Ancient foes have risen and the final battle has begun. With the world hanging in the balance, king and wizard clash, but only one can wear the Wizard’s Crown."--Goodreads blurb
I loved this series and devoured the first four earlier this year. Now that the dark academia part of the story has played out, and Will is a wizard in his own right now, this story has maybe played out a bit for me? Regardless, I was sorely disappointed with this book, especially the ending. I don't always need happy endings, but endings need to make sense within the world an author has created, and I feel like this one really didn't. I'm unsure if this is the last book in the series, but I'm sure if there are more I'll still read them.
