Description

From award-winning and bestselling author Cadwell Turnbull, A Ruin, Great and Free is Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets The Wire.

A Ruin, Great and Free is the thrilling conclusion to popular Convergence Saga. Book One focused on the People, Book Two the Monsters, and now Book Three: the Gods.

Moving backward and forward in time, we follow Cal as he journeys through battles between humans and monsters and finally brings focus on the state of the Gods. While the Gods seem to hold ultimate power, they may in fact be powerless, held prisoner by competing treaties throughout time.

Turnbull’s multilayered multiverse provides fertile ground for examining the current state of our world through the lens of contemporary fantasy.
