Emilianna Morgunsól has chosen war. She is now a key player in Prince Herlen’s plot to overthrow his father the king and transform Astenforth into a democratic state. Yet the city of Kyva is not what they’d hoped. Dangers abound. Herlen’s key collaborator is dead, the latest victim in a series of high-profile murders. The Maqqelli are kept sequestered and under curfew, punishment for a violent riot the previous year. There is a traitor in the palace leaking information to the ever-growing Thole threat. Yet there are also allies, one of whom offers Herlen a scandalous proposal. One that he is in no position to decline.
AC Lowry is definitely a normal person and not a time traveler. Local records will indicate he was born somewhere outside Atlanta in 1993, and not sometime in the summer of 7194. When he isn’t working he writes fantasy and sci-fi stories, and not just because that’s what the prophecy demands, but because he thinks robots and dragons and elves are cool. Currently, he lives in Florida with his wife and two awesome dogs and is pursuing a master's degree in English at Harvard's Extension School.
