Get ready to be swept away, seduced, and swindled in the wickedly vicious third and final installment in the Bloodleaf series that Laura Sebastian called "enchanting, visceral, and twisty."

When Aurelia awakens from her magic-induced sleep, it is to the face of a rescuer she didn't expect, in a body she doesn't understand, and into a world she no longer recognizes.

Desperate to know what happened to Conrad, Zan, and Kellan after the events at Greythorne Manor, Aurelia follows the threads they left behind straight into the forest. Suddenly she finds herself caught in a web of magic, intrigue, passion, and betrayal that stretches across centuries and ultimately reveals that Aurelia is the final piece of a deadly apocalyptic plan that is only days away.

All Aurelia wants is to reclaim her life and reunite with those she loved and lost; but with the end of the world looming, she's forced to unravel the dark secrets of the distant past before she can get that chance.

With the fate of mankind on her shoulders, Aurelia must venture into the heart of the Ebonwilde and face the darkest parts of the forest—and of herself.

Ebonwilde is the thrilling conclusion to the epic Bloodleaf series, which Laura Sebastian called "a phantasmagorical wonder" and Sara Holland described as an "eerie, immersive, and fascinating" read.

      Prophecies and romance close out a trilogy. Back in the world of Renalt and Achleva, multiple complex storylines weave together old and new themes. Initial nods at "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" soon fracture into "Now," with chapter headings counting down the days till Midwinter, and "Then," the events happening one year, 13 years, or over a century ago. The Circle Midnight, a cultlike group, is implicated in the prophesied catastrophe that familiar characters, royalty and commoners alike, are fighting to prevent. This drawn-out tale lumbers through breathless revelations and twisty-turny character reveals, with formerly dead Aurelia and the noble Dominic Castillion as reincarnations of ancient, magical Queen Vieve and her beloved consort, Adamus. Overly ambitious worldbuilding, including different magical systems and religious groups, bog down the forward motion of the plot. There are a few interesting elements: One-handed Kellan learns to control a prosthetic hand made out of magical quicksilver; young King Conrad (8 years old, though written more like an early adolescent) purposefully drugs himself with memory-erasing frostlace to avoid detection by a charismatic, telepathic leader; and a deadly fever--connected to political machinations--spreads through the populace at a horrifying rate. Skin tones range from pale to dark brown, but racial categories seem to not exist. A ponderous finale. (map) (Fantasy. 14-18)
