In When the Goddess Wakes, the final book of the Ring-Sworn trilogy, Howard Andrew Jones returns to the five realms of the Dendressi to conclude his heroic, adventure-filled epic fantasy trilogy.
The Naor hordes have been driven from the walls, but the Dendressi forces are scattered and fragmented, and their gravest threat lies before them. For their queen has slain the ruling council and fled with the magical artifacts known as the hearthstones, and she is only a few days from turning them to her mad ends.
The Altenerai corps has suffered grievous casualties, and Elenai’s hearthstone and her source of sorcerous power has been shattered. She and her friends have no choice but to join with the most unlikely of allies.
Their goal: to find the queen’s hiding place and somehow stop her before she wakes the goddess who will destroy them all…
Praised for his ability to write modern epic fantasy that engrosses and entertains, Howard Andrews Jones delivers a finale to his trilogy that reveals the dark secrets and resolves the mysteries and conflicts introduced in the first two books of this series.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The riveting conclusion to Jones's epic fantasy Ring-Sworn trilogy (after Upon the Flight of the Queen) pits the legendary Altenerai warriors against their most dangerous foes yet with the help of some surprising allies. The battle with the Naor is won, but now the Dendressi queen has fled to an unknown realm in a mad quest to wake a dangerous goddess who will erase and remake all the realms. It's up to what remains of the Altenerai to find and stop her—and in order to cement their fragile new peace, the Naor leader joins them. But even working together, they are unable to stop the queen in time and the goddess is awakened. Luckily, the troops are rescued from certain death, but by the untrustworthy Cerai, an Altenerai traitor. With their forces dwindled and scattered, the Altenerai must accept Cerai's help to survive the goddess, even knowing she'll inevitably turn against them. Jones offers immensely satisfying answers to lingering questions about his complex world while keeping the reader hooked with vivid, creative descriptions of alternate realms and masterful character work. Filled with action and surprises, this emotional roller coaster brings the trilogy to a bittersweet but worthy conclusion.
