Dismantled centuries ago, the sword of Goliath is still rumored to thirst for its enemies’ blood. Cole “Tox” Russell only wants to begin his life with Haven Cortes, but he must first complete a final mission: retrieve that sword and destroy the deadly Arrow & Flame Order.
The AFO, however, is determined to claim the sword. Wielding their father’s life over Tzivia and Ram Khalon, they threaten to expose Ram’s long-held and dangerous secret while demanding Tzivia locate the sword. With the Wraith team slowly being torn apart, things only worsen when Mercy Maddox, a new operative, emerges with the stunning news that the sword is tied to both Ram’s secret and a string of unsolved serial murders.
Tox, Ram, and the others are forced to set aside fear and anger to focus only on the enemy. No matter the cost, Wraith must stop or take the enemy down with them.

Summary
Ronnie writes a killer thriller as the finale to this series. The intricacy of the plot continues to amaze me. And then the small things she adds to break the tense moments and to make the character’s real are icing on the cake. I don’t want to spoil them for you but you will know what I mean when you see the reference to Jekyll and Hyde, loud and proud, and the name of Haven’s dog.
Kendig writes with purpose. There are several characters both past and present and multiple plot lines weaving in and out.
The main storyline is to end a century old curse that we find has been affecting one of our own. They are on the hunt to find the three pieces of Goliath’s sword before the wrong people do. In addition, the Arrow and Flame organization is back and just as determined.
Admittedly I was starting to not like Tiz. She was truly going crazy and mad. The question is how far will you go to find out if your father is alive and if he is, what will you do to keep him alive.
I liked how Kendig created the situations with Haven and Cole. I was glad she went to Israel with him.
I really enjoyed HackerGirl and her super hero references. I could see her appearing in a future novel.
Again Kendig amazes me with the intricate plotting. I plan to find time to read all three books together to thoroughly enjoy how she wove the plots through all of them.
This was not my favorite ending.... I won’t spoil it for you but not my favorite. I would like to re-read it with an alternate ending.
Kendig is truly an author to enjoy. She will have you holding your breath with the fear of what she might do to the characters. The characters feel so real that when the book is over you might have to remind yourself that they are not real. That didn’t really happen. Even though it feels very real.
Sexual - mention of intimacy after marriage, and someone is pregnant.
Violence - flaming arrows, several are killed, threatened, threatened with torture, and beaten up Drinking - i dont recall any drinking
