Prophecy of Tears and Sacrifice (Symphony of Crowns and Gods Book 3)

Peace cannot come without sacrifice. But who will pay the greatest cost of all?

The Wedding of the Torn Rose may be over, but the costly aftermath has only begun. New alliances are forming in Yaenia and threaten those who are still licking their wounds. A goddess selects her subjects in hopes they will fulfill a prophecy, but a hero in one kingdom is a villain in another. The exiled Prince Thane is on the run and must find the mysterious Whisperers, those who speak like the dragons dead from long ago. Back in the Darian Kingdom, Kaine Khalia must come to terms with his new condition, all while tasked with concealing the God Stones, a means to immeasurable magic. Most unexpectedly, the magical Lucidians, previously hidden in plain sight, have revealed themselves, and their history, as a warning of what’s yet to come.

Defensive strategies alone cannot win a war, however. Across the country, a trio of Leilan knights search for a shortcut to ending the conflict with the Throatians—knowledge from the Black Moon Tribe, the previous dragon slayers, may hold the key to saving everyone. But defeating Zann-Xia-Czul will not come easy, especially now that he has joined forces with an invincible knight best known for his crimson armor. Everyone has a different goal, but destiny painstakingly draws everyone into the fray—a struggle binding all involved.
