Author & Illustrator: Kazu Kibuishi
Mysterious and tense, THE LAST COUNCIL marks a turning point in the AMULET series, pulling readers deeper into the political and magical heart of Alledia. With expressive artwork and a story that blends intrigue with emotional depth, this fourth instalment raises new questions while pushing its heroes into challenges they never expected.
At last, Emily, Navin, and their companions reach the legendary city of Cielis - but instead of the flourishing haven they imagined, they find a place on edge. Citizens live in fear, the streets feel abandoned, and the once-powerful Council of Stonekeepers is a shadow of its former self. As Emily is summoned to compete in a series of trials, she begins to uncover unsettling truths about the city, its leaders, and the future they expect her to embrace.
While Emily confronts tests designed to measure her strength and loyalty, Navin steps into new responsibilities of his own, discovering just how vital he is to the resistance growing around them. Both siblings must learn who to trust - and who may be hiding dangerous secrets behind polished smiles.
A gripping and thought-provoking chapter - The Last Council shows that sometimes the hardest battles aren’t fought on the battlefield, but within the halls of power… and within yourself.
