Shadowfever

by Karen Marie Moning

Book 5 in Fever

Five books of agonizing slow burn, unanswered questions, and Mac-Barrons tension finally detonate in a 600-page finale that answers everything. If you've made it this far in the Fever series, Shadowfever is the cathartic payoff you've been promised - devastating, revelatory, and fiercely earned.
