The #1 Bestselling series!
THE WEIGHT OF HONOR is book #3 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS)!
In THE WEIGHT OF HONOR, Kyra finally meets her cryptic uncle, and is shocked to discover he is not the man she expected. She embarks on a period of training which will test her stamina and her frustration, as she soon encounters the limits of her power. Unable to summon her dragon, unable to search deep within, and feeling an urgency to help in her father’s wars, Kyra doubts if she will ever become the warrior she thought she was. And when she meets a mysterious boy, more powerful than her, deep in the forest, she wonders what her future really has in store for her.
Duncan must descend the peaks of Kos with his new army and, vastly outnumbered, launch a risky invasion on the capital. If he wins, waiting behind its ancient walls, he knows, will be the old king and his nest of nobles and aristocrats, all with their own agendas, all of them as quick to betray as they are to embrace. Unifying Escalon may, indeed, be harder than freeing it.
Alec, in Ur, must tap his unique skills in the forge to aid the resistance if they have any chance of defending against the looming Pandesian invasion. He is awestruck when he encounters Dierdre, the strongest girl he has ever meet. The time she has a chance to make a stand against Pandesia, and as she bravely faces off, she who wonders if her father and his men will have her back this time.
Merk finally enters the tower of Ur, and is stunned by what he discovers. Initiated into its strange codes and rules, he meets his fellow Watchers, the toughest warriors he has ever encountered, and he finds that earning their respect will not be easy. With an invasion looming, they must all prepare the tower; yet even all its secret passageways may not keep them safe from the betrayal lurking from within.
Vesuvius leads his Troll nation across a vulnerable Escalon, devastating the land, while Theos, enraged at what becomes of his son, is on a rampage himself, and will not stop until all of Escalon is aflame.
With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, THE WEIGHT OF HONOR is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is a story of love and broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that will appeal to all ages and genders.
Book #4 in KINGS AND SORCERERS will be published soon.

Customer Reviews
Good book, bad editing
I liked the book. Too many editor mistakes with wrong names being used.
Finally named characters died
I don’t truly believe that any deaths have happened to named characters we are supposed to like, plot armor is strong in this series.
Really wish the author would choose between silver and gold (doors, chain mail, spears, etc. pick one but stop switching back and forth).
Still flirts with girlboss status, big step in that direction with Kyra learning she was always amazing and just needed to realize it. Makes for a flat and boring character arc (love at first site with minor deity Kyle that she can’t ever contact again does not help her unrelatability and inducing boredom problems).
Skipping to spoken parts keeps the plot moving at an acceptable pace and makes the book entertaining. The rest is not even world building, just overly emotional nonsense that is repetitive, uninformative, and annoying.
I am curious who did not actually die, betting on the dragon, everyone at Southgate, Duncan, Karos, and named people fighting the trolls.
Brandon, Braxton, Tarnis, Vesuvius, and Pug (sp?) were all awful and will not be missed but I guess I have to count them since my criteria is named characters :/
Hence my title.
Unpredictable
To fanciful; unrealistic expectations and predictions. Everyone dies or is about to. But I still need to read more because maybe…..
