Darkest Hour
(2025)(The Final Battle)
(The ninth book in the Ravenwood Legacy series)A novel by Ivy Blackwood
She's faced demons, darkness, and a war that nearly tore them apart. But nothing prepared her for watching the man she loves return to the frozen hell that broke him.
When a dying summons arrives from the Ice Court, Thorne has every reason to refuse. Lady Elara—the woman who locked him in the Hall of Silence, who taught him that feeling was weakness, who destroyed his childhood—is dying. And she wants forgiveness.
She won't get it.
But Thorne needs something too: closure. The truth about his mother. And the freedom to finally let go of the ice that still grips his heart.
Aria refuses to let him face this alone. Together with Dante, Kade, and Ryder, she journeys to the glacier-palace one last time—not as supplicants, but as witnesses. Thorne will speak his truth. He will claim his mother's memory. And he will walk away from the legacy that tried to freeze out his humanity.
But the Ice Court holds more secrets than anyone knew. And in the aftermath of Thorne's reckoning, news arrives that shatters their fragile peace: Malachi is gathering hollow mages in the east.
The final battle is coming.
