The Last Shadow


The Last Shadow is a planned science fiction novel by American writer Orson Scott Card, part of his Ender's Game series. It will link the Shadow Saga back to the original Ender Series.
In April 2020, Card announced that he had begun writing the first pages of the novel while quarantined during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Connection to ''Shadows in Flight''

This novel was originally set to be titled Shadows in Flight, but Card decided to swap titles with the intermediary fifth book in the Shadow series, which serves as a bridge to the final book. The concluding events of Shadows in Flight were initially planned for the first chapter of final book, with working title Shadows Alive.

Enderverse Conclusion

Card has said that this book will bring the two series back together again at the end and will wrap up some of the plot threads left dangling in Shadow of the Giant. The events in the book are planned to be after Children of the Mind.
