Author Description

Kaiya escapes her ordeal at the hands of the Teleri Emperor, only to return to a homeland beset by enemies on all sides, and crumbling from within. As a teenager, she quelled a rebellion with the Dragon Scale Lute. As a young adult, she vanquished a dragon with the power of her voice. Now, robbed of her magic by grief, Kaiya must navigate a web of court intrigue to save the realm before it falls. Only she can lay claim to the Dragon Throne on behalf of her unborn sons-whether the father is the lover who perished rescuing her, or the hated enemy who killed him. In the final story in Kaiya's saga, she must rally a nation, repel invaders, and prove to the world why her family alone holds the Mandate of Heaven.
