“An action packed fantasy sure to please fans of Morgan Rice’s previous novels, along with fans of works such as The Inheritance Cycle by Christopher Paolini…. Fans of Young Adult Fiction will devour this latest work by Rice and beg for more.” --The Wanderer, A Literary Journal (regarding Rise of the Dragons) “I await each release by this author eagerly and have never been disappointed!” --Book Reviewer (Wish) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The #1 Bestselling series! CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS is book #13 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! In CRY OF THE RIGHTEOUS, Kyra and Kyle return to a realm being systematically transformed by Queen Isolde's final, desperate assault. As entire regions crystallize under her relentless magic, they race to convince their children of a truth both profound and dangerous—only by working together can the twins break the curse that has plagued the lands for centuries. But Lyra, now commanding her own crystalline army, remains convinced that her path alone will lead to victory, while Kael attempts to reach his sister through their twin bond rather than direct confrontation. The resistance makes its last stand by striking deep into enemy territory while Kavos unites the mountain kingdoms into a final alliance, creating sanctuary for those fleeing Isolde's advancing crystallization. Meanwhile, Maven—carrying fragments of both twins' essences within her created form—emerges as an unexpected key to their reconciliation. As the realm teeters on the edge of complete transformation, the first seed of doubt is planted in a heart that has grown increasingly convinced of its own righteousness. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS 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. Future books in the series are also available! “Loved it.
