The Dark Defiles by Richard Morgan

In the brutal climax of a grimdark saga, Ringil’s descent into alien sorcery and time-fractured warfare collides with rising human zealotry and the predations of the dwenda. Archeth battles court intrigue and reawakens perilous Kiriath technologies to hold a teetering empire together, while Egar confronts debts of honor on the steppe. As their paths cross in a world where gods, machines, and memory are at war, the truth behind history is laid bare, and the fate of their broken land hinges on ruinous choices and a sacrifice that reshapes what it means to win.
