Once more, battle lines are drawn between North and South. Old Loyalties are tested, and not just between the men and women of Cymria. The fearsome power of the rival griffins, Shar and Kraego culminates in a dramatic challenge, and only one will survive. The Night God's tortures continue as Captain Kearney Redguard is locked in his own struggle. Immortal, yet dead, unable to love, or be loved, he searches for the strength within his hollow soul to end the war, once, and for all.

Will he succeed?

The Cursed Guard is the third and much anticipated final book in the Southern Star Trilogy.
