It all culminates here, as Lazarus battles Lazarus and Forever ends the war.It began when Forever Carlyle, the Lazarus of the Carlyle Family, received a cryptic message: "He is not your father. This is not your family." It escalated when Forever secretly chose to defy an order from that very father, Malcolm Carlyle, to kill his own son, her brother Jonah, instead letting him escape and disappear. And it exploded when Carlyle was betrayed by the other global ruling Families and dragged into the years-long Conclave War. Forging an alliance with her sister Johanna, the Acting Head of Family, and the next Lazarus-in-training, Forever's clone sister "Eight," Forever vows to bring down her father and win their freedom. But every family has its secrets, and every secret has its price…Malcolm's global vision remains incomplete, and with his daughters working to thwart it, that bill comes due. For Malcolm, it's a price he's willing to pay, especially when it comes to his Family's eternal rival, Jakob Hock. For Forever, freedom will be paid in blood…and not just her own.The fourth deluxe hardcover collects Lazarus #27-28 and Lazarus: Risen #1-7.
