About the Book

The final chronicle of Narnia follows King Tirian as Narnia faces its darkest hour—a deceptive ape convinces creatures that Aslan and the dark god Tash are one, and Narnia itself begins to fall apart—culminating in a conclusion of profound allegorical significance involving the true end and meaning of Narnia. The most complex and theologically weighty entry in the series. Some young readers find the ending deeply comforting; others find it surprising or difficult.
