THRONE OF THE FALLEN is book #8 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! In THRONE OF THE FALLEN, the twins Lyra and Kael have grown up on the hidden Isle of Whispers under the guardianship of the mysterious Thara, unaware of their royal heritage or the prophecy that surrounds their birth. As they approach their fifteenth birthday, their powers begin to manifest in extraordinary ways—Lyra healing with golden light while Kael commands shadows with remarkable control. But ancient forces have been searching for them. When Queen Isolde's crystal warriors discover their sanctuary, the twins must defend their home against overwhelming odds. Even as they repel this first attack, a greater threat emerges from the shadows. As their peaceful existence shatters around them and their beloved guardian falls, the twins face separation for the first time in their lives. Meanwhile, deep within Isolde's fortress, Queen Kyra stirs within her crystal prison, sensing her children's peril across the magical bonds that connect them. The time has come for a mother's awakening, a sister's courage, and a brother's sacrifice—as the fate of kingdoms hangs in the balance. 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.
