With the Death King now dead, the crown has been passed to Willow and Xavier. It's time to return to Grim and claim the throne. Their journey home takes a detour to the Gyle Islands with Queen Anabelle where the Land's realm's relic, the Blossom of Gold, is hidden. But the Lightcaster has kidnapped the young Ocean Prince Fuérr and dragged him back to his home in Marincia. Macarius plans to barter the boy's life in exchange for the location of the Ocean realm's relic, the Pearl of Emerald. Xavier and Alexander, who already possess the magic Hallows from Dream, Ocean, and Sky, are reluctant to gain more Hallows, afraid that they will be the ones to bring the End of Existence. But the brothers can't afford to quit no. For if Macarius beats them to the relics, he will destroy the ones they love. The Shadowblood champions only pray they've made the right choice! Get ready to embark on a fascinating journey with epic adventures, thrilling action, addictive world-building, intricate magic systems, and unpredictable plots. Blossom of Gold is the explosive conclusion to the NecroSeam Chronicles series you won't want to miss! ***** Five Star Review from Readers' Favorite Blossom of Gold is a work of epic fantasy fiction with plenty of action and conceptual delights and was penned by author Ellie Raine. The fifth and final novel in the NecroSeam Chronicles series,this ending to the saga contains some mild profanity and graphic violence, which makes it largely suitable to adult and mature YA readers alike. In this darkly conceptualized world, we are introduced to Reapers and the undead alike - though the undead are mutated demons from whom the seam of life (the titular NecroSeam) has been left uncut. Theundead are about to be unwittingly enslaved to fight a war that could bring about the End of Existence, with twins Xavier and Alexander standing right in their path. Author Ellie Raine has developed a truly superb and fully engrossing fantasy world like nothing I've ever read before. The concept of Grim Reapers and undead demons may not seem new, but through Raine's intelligent revisioning and extensive work in lore and world building,this world filled with dark realms, nature, life, and death is one that is completely realized and totally unique. The action for twin brothers Xavier and Alexander comes thick and fast as the end draws near, and the use of prophecy and magical quests feels apt and authentic, not trope-like or overdone. This makes for a truly compelling adventure novel with dark twists everywhere, and some truly frightening images that stay with you long after reading. Overall, Blossom of Gold is a superb work that is highly recommended for fantasy fans everywhere. Review by K.C. Finn for Readers' Favorite

Even the Demon kingdoms are fighting amongst themselves. And in the middle are twin reapers, destined for something, if only they knew what it was. After six years trapped inside his twin, Xavier’s soul is finally back in his own body, although his long years in a mindless coma has left him extremely weak.

During the long voyage, the reapers are joined by the royal heirs of all five realms, including a Relicblood who should not even exist. And it’s the Shadowblood twins they are counting on.
