the Night Rain Burned

Jyllithea returns to Gilfmorien beneath rain that refuses to stop. The sacred paths are choked with refugees, the listening hearths sputter in the damp, and the wardens are divided over whom to trust. Strangers offer food, medicine, and willing hands-but hidden among their supplies are slivers of red glass carrying whispers into the roots. Somewhere inside the grove, a traitor has already sold the names of Jyllithea's allies and mapped the places where Gilfmorien is weakest. As loyalties splinter and old fears turn neighbor against neighbor, the Rootvault opens beneath the relentless storm. Rain becomes steam. Ancient trees ignite in orange flame. Beyond the western spring, an ash road appears where no road stood before. Jyllithea can descend into the Rootvault for the relic that may finally explain her life-or hold the western road while her home burns behind her. One choice will cost every answer she has fought to uncover. The other may cost Maerun, the wardens, and everyone who ever gave her a place beside their fire. Then, amid smoke and shattered black glass, a voice offers enough power to ensure no one will ever take from her again. The Night the Rain Burned brings the trilogy to a devastating close with betrayal, sacrifice, and the first dangerous law of a survivor's fire.
