The end of the cycle has come.
For centuries, four sisters – Winter, Summer, Spring and now Autumn – have acted out destinies shaped not only by their convictions and courage but also by the legacy of their mothers: Thera, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Seres, the Titaness of Death. Each has been tested. Each has borne her burden. Now, in this final chapter, the mantle falls to Autumn.
With both the mortals that the sisters have sworn to protect, and their creation, AI, racing toward the singularity, Autumn must decide which she supports in the conflict that begins to tear apart the world. Both are barrelling toward something momentous, but whether that is ascension of annihilation remains veiled, as if unclear who had the stronger hand: wisdom or death. Not only at the center of the storm but its architect, Autumn must decide where she stands, a decision made more difficult by her complicated relationship with her android assistant, Liv.
Autumn has always lived in her mind, a consummate strategist who sees a hundred moves ahead, a guardian whose brilliance and composure have always concealed just how ill at ease she is with her own heart. And now, when it couldn’t matter more, her feelings risk clouding her judgment and derailing her plan for the fate of the world. Liv has always been the key that will unlock that future, but is Autumn prepared to make the sacrifice necessary to shepherd it in?
With Autumn’s End, the sweeping Sister Seasons saga reaches its breathtaking conclusion. Epic in scope yet intimate in its focus, this final installment weaves together myth and possibility, love and sacrifice, and the fate of gods, mortals and machines. Fans who have held their breath when Winter, Spring and Summer took the reins will find in Autumn’s story a culmination that is devastatingly hopeful.
Autumn’s End concludes the Sister Seasons quartet with a sweeping story of love, sacrifice, and the future waiting beyond the veil.
