Bookroo's summary

In the final book of the Pellinor quartet, the Black Army is advancing north and the land is torn by war. Maerad and her brother Hem, separated and travelling different roads, must find each other and join their powers, for only together can they recover the lost Treesong and stand against the Nameless One. Maerad must first fight to save Innail, while Hem crosses dangerous country to reach her.

From the publisher

The climactic volume of the epic quartet follows the Bards of Edil-Amarandh on a vital quest to merge their powers against a nameless evil. In an increasingly battle-ravaged land, Maerad, Cadvan, and Hem desperately search for one another as they make their separate journeys. The Black Army is advancing north, and even as Maerad faces a mighty confrontation with the Landrost to save Innail, all of the Seven Kingdoms are threatened with bitter and devastating defeat. Yet in Maerad and Hem lives the secret to the mysterious Singing, and legend holds that if they release the music of Elidhu together, they have the power to defeat the Nameless One. Can brother and sister find each other in time to fight this all-powerful enemy, and are they strong enough even reunited to defeat him before all is lost?"
