just caught up with the novel. i think there are still a few more side stories left so i haven't finished it yet, but essentially there is no true endgame i guess you could say. nain ends up living with both amon and gwen in trastasa. amon and gwen absolutely despise each other, but they recognize that if they kill each other, nain will kill himself (he will no longer have the will to live). so they've come to a mutual agreement to maintain peace with each other for nain's sake.
in terms of trastasa itself, the country changes drastically by the end. human sacrifices are banned altogether. people are kind to each other. there is no blatant corruption among the priests. everything has changed to better suit nain's best interests. nain, himself, is much, much happier as a whole.
from my understanding of it - nain both loves and hates amon (it's complicated lol) and loves gwen. he also loves trastasa and all the people he came to love in the past, despite the painful memories he harbors.
