Summary

Peace is impossible while the family survives.
 
As the Northern Alliance threatens the Stormwind's power, the family retaliates, forcing the rulers of the Petty Kingdoms to bend to their will. Hoping to finally end the family’s influence, Athgar and Natalia travel to Abelard for a secret meeting, striking a deal for the future of Therengia.
 
With a bold plan to destroy the Volstrum, they must cross Zaran, where the brave vanish and the foolhardy lose their minds. Is there truth in the stories of dangerous beasts, or are they just tales meant to frighten children?
 
Struggling through the wilderness, with danger threatening at every turn, they seek solace in the knowledge that their sacrifice will lead to a future without strife. Only when they discover a secret long lost to the annals of history do they see a beacon of hope.
 
The end is coming—a titanic clash of the most powerful mages on the Continent.
 
Witness the ultimate confrontation in Cataclysm, Paul J Bennett’s epic conclusion to The Frozen Flame series.

The #1 Bestselling series!

CROWN OF THE MIGHTY is book #9 in Morgan Rice’s bestselling epic fantasy series KINGS AND SORCERERS (which begins with RISE OF THE DRAGONS, a free download)! 

In CROWN OF THE MIGHTY, Queen Kyra races to find her children before the forces of darkness can claim them. As she navigates the shattered remains of her once-proud kingdom, her husband Kyle follows a different path, seeking a legendary artifact that might reunite their broken family. Between them stands a realm in ruins, ruled by the merciless Queen Isolde and shadowed by ancient prophecies none fully understand.

Separated from each other for the first time, the twins face their own perilous journeys. Kael, a prisoner of the Shadow Witch, discovers surprising truths about his captor's enigmatic apprentice, while Lyra falls under the influence of a mysterious wizard whose guidance pushes her powers in disturbing new directions. As the twins' abilities evolve in unexpected ways, those who seek to control them begin to wonder: Could the ancient prophecies have been misinterpreted all along? With rebellion stirring among the crystal giants, resistance fighters making their final stand, and dark forces converging from all directions, the scattered family races toward a confrontation that will determine not just their fate, but the future of all kingdoms.

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!
