The Jewel of the Kalderash

Petra and friends fight to save her father and stop a villainous prince and his army of monsters in this fantasy trilogy finale by the New York Times–bestselling author.

“Bittersweet, yet hopeful, with an understated romance, this is a fitting finale for a distinctive series.” —Booklist

Petra Kronos’s father has been transformed into one of Prince Rodolfo’s monstrous Gray Men, and Petra is determined to save him. She and her friends Tomik and Neel swiftly formulate a plan. But when a long-held secret is revealed, Neel finds himself bound to his country. Petra, Astrophil, and Tomik must embark on their quest without him.

The friends are quickly swept up in an epic battle for power. Worse still, Prince Rudolfo is close to becoming emperor, ruling half of Europe. As she struggles to be free of Prince Rudolfo’s evil plots, Petra learns just how strong the bonds of friendship can be—and just how much she is willing to sacrifice—in this riveting final volume of the Kronos Chronicles.

“A slambang finale to a refreshingly different fantasy trilogy. . . . Thrilling, heartrending, and unexpectedly sweet, Petra’s adventures could not have had a more satisfying conclusion.” —Kirkus Reviews
