Shadows Symphony Special Edition
The Chronicles of the Bard King: Book Two
Sequel to A Tempest of Shadows
The Storm Lord of Ver'Sut, Jerith, has conquered the north with iron and blood. His dominion spreads across Eodarrin, where the Anvil Tournament beckons the realm's greatest champions to fight for glory-or survival-in a contest where losing means death. Tasked with recruiting these warriors are Lysa and Rian, Jerith's ruthless Sutori, bound by loyalty, ambition, and the weight of their master's reign.
For Liana Birkstotter, queen of a broken realm, and Aerendil Moonwhisper, a Fae exile grappling with the ghosts of his past, the world has never been more perilous. War, politics, and betrayal lurk at every turn, even as forbidden love ignites between them, threatening to unravel everything they have fought to rebuild.
Riona and Calix, drawn into a mission through the scorching desert, must confront monstrous forces that stir beneath the sands. Their journey intertwines with a band of misfits and magic-wielders, but the true threat lies in the heart of the desert-where long-forgotten gods may soon awaken.
Far to the south, beyond the Fire Sea, the kingdom of Sarathor teeters on the brink of chaos. Four royal brothers wage brutal campaigns to seize the throne, each willing to sacrifice their humanity for dominance. In the shadows, Prince Kadir, with the dark magic of Thalorin Nightshade at his side, plots his final conquest. As he unravels ancient secrets, Kadir's ambition threatens to tear the very fabric of reality itself.
Ancient magic, political intrigue, and personal vendettas collide in this epic fantasy where the choices of a few will shape the fate of many. As alliances shift and old enemies rise, the battle for Sarathor is on the verge of exploding into war.
Fans of A Chorus of Dragons and The Priory of the Orange Tree will be captivated by Shadows Symphony's intricate world-building, morally complex characters, and pulse-pounding action. Brace yourself for a tale of love, power, and betrayal as kingdoms fall and heroes rise from the ashes.
