Description
THIS BOOK CAN BE READ AS A STANDALONE BUT IT'S ALSO THE EAGERLY ANTICIPATED CONCLUDING PART IN THE LONG-STANDING EMILY KNIGHT SERIES.
As the chosen one to battle the powerful Neci, the stake of the warrior world is on Emily's shoulders but with family betrayals and superpowers being stolen, everything is falling apart. Can Emily rise above it all and defeat her toughest opponent? Will she live up to the expectations of being number one? Win or lose - this is the final battle.
The trailblazing fantasy series by award-winning author Abiola Bello concludes in the page-turning, explosive, jaw-dropping manner Emily Knight readers have grown accustomed to! The eagerly anticipated fourth book follows the incredible success of Emily Knight I am... Becoming, Emily Knight I Am... Awakened (which received a prestigious Carnegie nomination and enjoyed first place in the London’s BIG Read 2019) and the debut – Emily Knight I Am – that Abiola first wrote at the age of 12!

Here’s a quick refresher of the epic adventures of Emily Knight in books 1-3. Happy reading!
Emily Knight I Am… (book 1)
Emily Knight is a thirteen-year-old warrior who is far from ordinary, and she hates it. She’s the press’s favourite problem child, daughter of a heroic warrior, Thomas Knight - the leader of the elite Five Warriors and the sister of Lox Knight - the youngest warrior to win the World Warrior Championship but after his win, he ran away and hasn't been seen since.
Living with the elite in Legends Village makes for an interesting life that is never quiet or boring.
Emily is accepted to the prestigious Osaki Training School, for children who are born with supernatural powers - warriors. She learns to fly, create fireballs, breathe under water and play the fast, fun and aggressive game of Dojo.
Emily befriends Michella Kinkle, who fears she's the average one in her talented family, Wesley Parker who uses humour to conceal the pain he feels about his mother in rehab, and the handsome but very smart Jason Notting, who always fails to notice the girls falling at his feet.
Emily finds it tough dealing with the pressure of filling her family's famous shoes. But when she encounters her long-lost brother Lox, he demands she pick a side. Fight with him and the evil Neci or stand with their father and die. But how can she choose between the two people she loves - her brother and her father? The wrong choice would lead to the destruction of warriors everywhere.
Emily Knight I Am… Awakened (book 2)
Neci is back and she’s more dangerous than ever. Neci wants to divide the warriors and take back her place as number one. She claims that once her missing warrior is found, she is ready to go to war. The warriors must stand up for what they believe in—they are either Team Emily or Team Neci. Emily feels the pressure from being the 'face' of the good team. She is instructed to give everyone hope but Emily is unable to control her strong powers and secretly fears that she is not good enough to battle Neci.
When fellow student, Gabriel Thompson starts acting strange around her, Emily tries to talk to him, but he brushes her off. Then, someone starts teleporting her to a room filled with ice and she makes a chilling discovery: a trapped ice man. Emily tells her friends, but they don't believe her, instead they think Emily is buckling under the pressure of being the 'face.' Only Julian Kena believes her, and he wants to see the ice room. When they go, they find Gabriel frozen… and the ice man released.
The ice man is Blade, Neci's missing warrior, and Gabriel has been blackmailed by Neci's righthand woman, Scarlett, to get Emily to Blade so Blade can kill her and release him so Neci can destroy everyone. Emily’s narrow escape alongside Julian Kena and a frozen Gabriel leaves the stage primed for an all-out conflict.
Emily Knight I Am… Becoming (book 3)
At Emily’s 15th birthday celebration, joy over the homecoming of heroes Thomas and Lox Knight quickly gives way to deep-seated family tensions and the unveiling of startling secrets. During the party, Roberta Taniana of The Five Warriors announces the capture of Scarlett—Neci's right-hand woman and a formidable fighter wielding fire—who soon requests a private meeting with Emily.
Though the reunited Knights inspires hope, Emily is plagued by doubts about her strength and readiness to confront Neci’s looming threat. Eager to prove herself, she seeks training from her supportive father even as her brother Lox challenges her resolve.
In a hidden encounter, Scarlett transfers her rare fire power to Emily. The one thing Neci is scared of is fire.
As the summer ends, the mysterious disappearance of Professor Elwood and sudden, uncontrollable surges of fire—accompanied by a haunting inner voice commanding “Fire”—unsettle Emily further. When Neci’s warriors attack, leaving Thomas poisoned and the family home in ruins, Emily’s world is thrown into chaos.
Amid the turmoil, Michella’s secret healing ability is revealed only to be exploited when she is kidnapped in a high-stakes exchange. Determined to rescue her friend, Emily. Wesley, Jason and a group of friends go on a perilous mission that forces them into a deadly ambush against micro-chipped hostages. In a brutal showdown marked by heart-wrenching sacrifices, including the loss of dear friends, Scarlett discloses Neci’s ultimate plan and reveals that the fire she transferred, along with the mysterious voice, is meant solely for Emily. Despite the mounting tragedies, the rescue’s bittersweet victory and a prophetic vision from Roberta confirm that every sacrifice has prepared Emily for her destined battle to end Neci once and for all.
