The Immortal Words
To defeat an immortal evil, a young warrior must enter the land of the dead in the spellbinding conclusion to Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Grave Kingdom trilogy.
As kingdoms fall, brave young warrior Bingmei fights to fulfill a prophecy and save what’s left of the world from the coming darkness. Should she fail, Echion, the diabolical Dragon of Night, and his queen will hold sway over the next thousand years. With Echion comes his unstoppable army of dragons — powerful, vengeful, and under his control.
Accompanied by her loyal friend Quion, Bingmei journeys toward her last hope. It lies among the savage beasts just beyond the ancient Death Wall — an uninhabited realm from which no one has ever returned alive. Bingmei’s mission is to find the phoenix shrine and learn the Immortal Words that will allow her to harness eternal magic. With Echion and his legions in pursuit, Bingmei must choose her words wisely to break Echion’s spell and accept her fate.
Bingmei knows what she must do. She must join the ranks of the dead as well. For a fearless and selfless warrior, it’s the ultimate sacrifice. But Bingmei is about to discover that even in death, the greatest sacrifices are yet to come.

Jeff Wheeler
Jeff Wheeler’s writing journey is as much about personal transformation as it is about the intricate worlds he weaves. Born in the heart of the Silicon Valley, Jeff was immersed in technology from a young age, a background that contrasts with the sweeping fantasy realms that now define his work. But the marriage of the two—his technical mind and his boundless creativity—has made him one of the standout authors in modern fantasy.
After earning degrees in history and business from San Jose State University, Jeff carved out a successful career at Intel Corporation, but his passion for storytelling never waned. What started as late-night writing sessions grew into something more. Inspired by fantasy legends like Terry Brooks’ The Elfstones of Shannara, Jeff realized that he had stories to tell—stories of magic, power, and deep emotional journeys.
