Tears of the Moon Part 1: Nest of Vipers
Book III of The Fables of Chaos
The Final Ruin is coming. The bleeding star approaches, breaking down barriers between the natural world and other monstrous dimensions. But the war-torn land of Alyria is swept up in its own state of affairs. The kingdoms of Ashen and Caldaea are locked in a bloody feud, the Broken Coast is kingless, and a mass exodus fuels crime, plague, and hunger. The royal courts have become nests of vipers.
BETRAYAL.
Katryna Bower, the 'vagabond princess', leads a royal mission to seek aid for her homeland, deep into the deserts of Ember. However, Katryna stumbles into a kingdom on the brink of collapse, swept into a maelstrom of violence and religious zealots.
WAR.
Petir Blacktree's father, King Emery, has succumbed to the twisted motives of his newest advisor. It is up to the crippled prince to lead a war effort he is not prepared for while facing the harsh reality of braving a court of guilt, gossip, and shame. His sister, Ciana Blacktree, imprisoned by her sadistic husband, mounts an escape plan with old allies.
CHAOS.
The fires of war are no stranger to young Tomas, yet the inferno burning within may all but consume the butcher's boy as he struggles with his grief. He must find a cure for his Blight-stricken associate, Lynn, and learn to work with new, enigmatic companions as they are hunted across kingdoms for the knowledge they possess.
