Where do you turn when all hope seems lost?
Twenty-one years of hiding and running has brought Princess Anya to this moment. Following her father's command, she amassed a Guardian army who now follow her to the East to finally confront the traitor, Drocha. Yet even with her faithful Guardian, Eamon, by her side, they are hopelessly outnumbered ten to one.
The only hope Anya has to hold onto is a cryptic message from her father, the King:
"In your darkest moment, when you think all hope is lost, look to the hills where your help comes..."
As the final battle draws near, friends and allies alike fall, the Guardian army loses its greatest advantage, and any chances of victory now seem impossible. Yet miracles can take the most unexpected of forms and hope has the power to emerge from the most devastating of losses.
A battle that spans both heaven and earth, experience the unforgettable conclusion of The Child of the King series in The Ruby.
