"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! This is book #11 in Morgan Rice's bestselling epic fantasy series. In this book, the fragile balance continues to shift as each faction races toward their ultimate goal. Lyra, once a beacon of healing light, now commands her first territory with growing confidence, using a refined version of crystal magic to transform willing followers into something new – neither thrall nor human, but something she believes transcends both. Far across the shattered kingdoms, her twin brother Kael has found temporary refuge among the resistance, though visions of his sister's transformation plague his dreams and leave him questioning what remains of the bond they once shared. As Kyra and Kyle launch their boldest offensive yet against Isolde's strongholds, Merk undertakes a solo mission to recover a legendary weapon with the power to shatter crystal enchantments forever. Meanwhile, secrets long buried begin to surface – Maven confronts the shocking truth of her artificial creation, while cracks form in the unholy alliance between the Crystal Queen and Shadow Witch. With giant rebels seizing control of key fortresses and ancient powers awakening across the land, the twins find themselves drawn inexorably toward each other across vast distances, their powers resonating with increasing intensity as the final confrontation between light and shadow approaches. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, this book 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. "Loved it. Kept me on my toes like the whole time. It made me want to keep reading even when I was supposed to be sleeping." --Book Reviewer (Wish) ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The beginnings of something remarkable are there." --San Francisco Book Review (re A Quest of Heroes) "Has all the ingredients for an instant success: plots, counterplots, mystery, valiant knights, and blossoming relationships replete with broken hearts, deception and betrayal.
