The Future Falls (#3)
From bestselling author Tanya Huff, the thrilling conclusion to the Gale trilogy, where everything depends on one eccentric and powerful clan—but more can change than meets the eye…
Charlie Gale, Wild Power, has come into her own since she first learned to walk a path no one else can follow. But her heart’s demanding something she won’t take, and family responsibilities are pulling her harder than ever. When she learns the secret of a fast-approaching global doomsday event, disaster brings its own kind of clarity. Epic performances are one of Charlie’s strong points. And if she fails, at least her own unhappy ending will get lost in the crowd.
With Charlie to teach him, seventeen-year-old Jack Gale has finally figured out what home and family can be like for Wild Powers. He’ll do anything to save his. Which is good, because dealing with frost giants, sirens, and chupacabras is great practice for incoming worldwide devastation. Feelings are a lot harder to beat into submission. Fate, on the other hand, he’s yet to try.
Jack and Charlie are determined to change their stars—for themselves and everyone else on the planet. They’ll just have to invent a solution as unpredictable as they are…
Reviews
“With geeky in-jokes, dynamic leads, convincing romantic complications, and a threat that is both unusual and wonderfully convincing, this is an enchanting example of contemporary urban fantasy.”
“THE FUTURE FALLS is an engaging story. Huff keeps events moving along briskly, with an occasionally wicked sense of humour and an ability to take the ridiculous and make it work […] It’s diverting and fun, with well-drawn characters and entertaining incidents.”
“THE FUTURE FALLS is the final story in this world but she ended with a bang […] I really enjoy the world-building, the science/logic mixed with magic, and the crazy Gale family. Once more Huff has proven why I continue to eagerly look forward to her new releases and reread her backlist.”

“It’s a fun tale, and it’s a fun version of Canada with magical pie-baking aunties […] I think my favorite thing about this book, and about the series in general, is its humor […] Fans of urban fantasy should enjoy this book, but only after enjoying the two that come before it.”Owlcat Mountain Review
