A Dawn of the Last Star

The heart of the sky cannot be woken by one set of hands, or two — only three, and the third belongs to Vael. The realm wants him destroyed; the order knows only how to cage a darkness, or call its killing peace.

Liora knows the other answer now. In the finale of The Constellation Courts, the offered hand is held out one last time — to the last soul anyone would forgive — and the whole sky waits to see what it chooses. Not to destroy the hunger at the heart of the dark, but to heal it.
