Synopsis

In the stunning conclusion to The Book of the New Sun, the exiled torturer Severian wanders through a dying Earth's war-torn landscape, drawn into battle against the enigmatic armies of the North. Wounded and adrift, he encounters the Autarch of the Commonwealth and learns the staggering truth about his own destiny — that he is meant to inherit the throne and perhaps summon the New Sun that could renew a world slipping into darkness.
