A final stand beyond the stars

The concluding volume of Brandon Sanderson’s space-opera series brings Spensa back from the Nowhere with new answers about her Cytonic abilities, just as the Superiority’s fight for galactic dominance threatens humanity and its allies. The knowledge she gained may be crucial to resisting that threat, but her powers raise questions about what victory could cost her and the people beside her. The book connects a galaxy-wide conflict with Spensa’s struggle to understand the limits and consequences of her abilities, carrying forward the series’ established cast and central stakes into its finale.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in science fiction and space opera.
  • Readers following the Skyward series and Spensa’s story.
  • Readers who enjoy stories combining galactic conflict, unusual abilities, and questions of personal cost.

Book overview

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson comes the final book in an epic series about a girl who will travel beyond the stars to save the world she loves from destruction.

Spensa made it out of the Nowhere, but what she saw in the space between the stars has changed her forever. She came face to face with the Delvers, and finally got answers to the questions she's had about her own strange Cytonic gifts.

The Superiority didn't stop in it's fight for galactic dominance while she was gone, though. Spensa's team, Skyward Flight, was able to hold Winzik off, and even collect allies to help with the cause, but it's only a matter of time until humanity--and the rest of the galaxy--falls.

Defeating them will require all the knowledge Spensa gathered while in the Nowhere. But being Cytonic is more complicated than she ever could have imagined. Now, Spensa must ask herself: how far is she willing to go for victory, if it means losing herself--and her friends--in the process.
