The Breath That Breaks the Stone

Description

Enemies become allies, and comrades become blood rivals in this third installment and Season One finale of Ashes of Eormun . After increasing pressure from Kayna and Sunshine, Lochled has finally agreed to help save Leftland from the Fourth Crusade. If only it were that simple. Kayna discovers a dangerous new ability that threatens to consume her, while Lochled realizes that his plan has put him at odds with someone he doesn’t want to fight: Rony Hirdman. But she’s not the same ignorant girl he left behind. She’s a sergeant now, and she’ll do whatever it takes to keep her squad alive–no matter who she has to kill. And all the while, Annistis Fyrngelt is on her way, intent on recruiting the Fourth Crusade to help retake her throne. But if she’s going to have any chance of reaching Leftland, she’ll have to survive the treacherous maze of icebergs known as the Caldegrund Pass. And even if she makes it through, there’s a fleet of warships waiting to intercept her. In charge of that fleet is none other than Morric Fyrngelt himself–her own cousin, and the man who stole her throne. They call him The Usurper, and many believe him to be an idiot, a coward, and a puppet for the Church of Alchemy. But when Seeker Hilden Gladscar is assigned to accompany Morric on his mission to stop Annistis, the Seeker is shocked to discover that Morric is none of those things. He does, however, have one fatal flaw: He might be the only honorable man in all of Eormun. The tides of fate and history are pushing everyone toward a collision, and it is anyone’s guess who will be left standing. ______________________ The Breath That Breaks the Stone is book three in Ashes of Eormun, a grimdark epic fantasy series perfect for readers captivated by morally complex characters, unflinching depictions of war, the exploration of humanity's darker sides, and the unsettling thrill of political corruption.
