<p><b>Michelle Paver''s superb Bronze Age epic reaches its dramatic, spine-tingling conclusion.<br></b><br>Hylas and Pirra return to Akea for their final confrontation with their arch-enemies, the Crows. They <i>must</i> recover the dagger of Koronos if they are to end the warriors'' brutal rule. Only if old and new friends join forces can they hope to triumph - but the price of victory may be higher than either Hylas or Pirra has dreamed . . .</p>
