Losing his parents. Training at the Temple of the Flaming Fist. Learning the fire power. Starting a family. Owen’s whole life has been building to this moment, where he attempts the impossible one last time.

I never knew the scale of this book would change so much! The ending of this series is definitely going to shock people.”
