About the Book
The Underland Chronicles concludes with a final, devastating war between the humans and the rats led by the Bane, as Gregor fights to protect the Underland and those he loves while facing a prophecy that foretells his own death. An emotionally powerful conclusion that refuses to make war glamorous, honoring the human cost of conflict. One of the most serious and affecting endings in middle-grade fantasy.
