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.

Unifying Escalon may, indeed, be harder than freeing it.

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.

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.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We were floored by this hard-hitting, action-packed epic fantasy, the third installment in Morgan Rice’s Kings and Sorcerers series. We follow teenager Kyra as she trains to join her father’s rebel army in their fight to overthrow a despotic ruler—and learns that her special powers may be even more powerful than she realized. Packed with heroic battles, mysterious magical beings, and even an army of trolls, Rice’s monumental fantasy is best enjoyed after reading the first book in the series, Rise of the Dragons, which will help you keep track of the multiple plotlines and far-flung locations. Narrator Wayne Farrell’s lyrical Irish accent seamlessly flows from character to character, whether he’s portraying a rage-filled dragon, a frightened young conscript, or a war-weary army captain. Fantasy lovers will savor all the suspense and action.

Should be a movie
Intense! it feels like my toes are curled in anticipation every second. The amount of graphics yet shocking turns in this book when your hoping for a rescue but it seams so real that this is a fairytale that isn’t a fairytale and my head is spinning to grab ahold and listen to the other three realizing that I’m only half way through the series. And wishing that this would be a movie series it would be better then game of thrones,Ergon, lord of the rings, I feel it could make a cinematic master piece.
The proof reading and editing process must’ve been skipped.
This writer must have the most limited scope of the English language. In one chapter the phrase “end over end” is used 5 times in rapid succession. I can deal with a few mistakes but the repeated phrases and obvious mistakes make this book hard to listen to. Every time a character is on the brink of death they are certain it’s the end then somebody magically saves them, another overused scenario. The writer had 3 books to get better and I’d argue he made it worse. I simply can’t recommend somebody spend their money on a poorly presented project.
Incredible!!!
This series is getting better, and better every time I complete a book! I’m just blown away by the twists and turns around every chapter. Absolutely incredible, and I can not wait to continue this journey!
