The #1 Bestselling series!
A REALM OF SHADOWS is book #5 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS)!
In A REALM OF SHADOWS, Kyra finds herself in the midst of a burning capital, attacked by a host of dragons, clinging for life. With her beloved homeland destroyed, The Flames down and the trolls pouring in, Kyra must urgently quest to Marda to retrieve the magic weapon before it is too late—even if it takes her into the very heart of darkness.
Duncan finds himself trapped, with the others, in the burning capital, and he uses all his wits to find his men, attempt escape, and rally his forces to regroup and attack Pandesia. Across the kingdom, Merk sails with King Tarnis’ daughter through the Bay of Death as they abandon the Tower of Kos and sail for the warrior isle of Knossos. Pursued by Vesuvius and his army of trolls, crossing the world’s most treacherous waters, they know they have little chance to reach the isle, and even less chance of escape.
Dierdre and Marco survive the tidal wave that destroyed Ur only to find their beloved city under water. With everyone they knew and loved lost and dead, they must pick up the pieces and journey to the one person they know who is left alive: Kyra. Alec, meanwhile sails back for Escalon with the people of The Lost Isles, holding the precious sword that might just change everything. But none expect to encounter a land destroyed, a land that is now teeming with dragons.
With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, A REALM OF SHADOWS 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 #6 in KINGS AND SORCERERS will be published soon.
“If you thought that there was no reason left for living after the end of the Sorcerer’s Ring series, you were wrong. Morgan Rice has come up with what promises to be another brilliant series, immersing us in a fantasy of trolls and dragons, of valor, honor, courage, magic and faith in your destiny. Morgan has managed again to produce a strong set of characters that make us cheer for them on every page.…Recommended for the permanent library of all readers that love a well-written fantasy.”

Amazing book
I love how in the book and all the books in the series, it refers to death as a character. And I think one of the best parts of this book is how Escalon is taken over by two armies, and even though that happened the people of Escalon still stay strong, the people/characters in this book have so much personality. It’s like the book is alive. In a good way.
You need an editor!!!
There are so many mistakes in this book it’s ridiculous! Wrong names used, incorrect English, and wrong people in wrong place. It’s great to have a good imagination but if you can’t express it correctly, it’s very annoying. I thought this would be a”quick and easy read” but I spent most of the time stumbling over mistakes and writing errors. I definitely would not recommend this series to anyone…There’s still time, fix it!!!!
Serious Logistics Errors
I was able to over look the staff error in book 4. I explained it in my review of book 4 so wont elaborate here. I am really really finding it very difficult to accept the magically increasing number of trolls chasing Merk. As he was traveling down the Devil's finger peninsula it started as a few hundred of Vesuvius's best warriors, increasing to several thousand by the time they reached the end. As Merk and the King's daughter took 1 of the 12-15 SMALL boats available, ALL several thousand trolls loaded onto the small boats..
By the time they reach the isle of Knossos the number of boats and trolls has grown into an never ending army of trolls..
Then there is the dragons.. that dont let anybe escape the citys but the heros are instantly free clear and safe from the dragons once they leave the capital city..
The horrible logistics are really making me not want to get the last book.. no matter how good the overall story line is.
