Terren and Kiira survived Zerrec’s scheme. They press forward in their Lundemai only to face more struggles, and things intensify as uncovering the truth becomes top priority. Kiira endured her old mentor, but not without some characterizing scars. All she wants is to prove she’s worthy. Left alone in Klynotia while Terren obeys King Grayten’s directives; Kiira does the very thing Terren asked her not to do, and the information she learns may not be worth the price that has to be paid. Terren can finally breathe easily, knowing his wife and Bear are safe. Of course, being married to Kiira means things don’t go as planned. If that isn’t enough to handle, Grayten is not as he remembers, and Terren realizes it will take more than subterfuge to free his people, but to defeat a tyrant, he might have to become one. In Klynotia, Zerrec made a strategic move to make his enemies his pawns, but his years in the Aria Bells softened his memory to the pleasing sensation of power. Men jump at his command, and the sway he holds over the masses means he can have more than just revenge. Set in parallel worlds, Shadow’s Son is the second record in the Broken Realms Chronicle. An adult fantasy loaded with adventure, royal politics, light versus dark, relatable characters, magic, fantastical creatures, and enough intrigue to keep you turning the page. ***DISCLAIMERS/TRIGGERS*** It is fade-to-black, has no modern day swear words, and the intimacy level on page is limited to passionate kisses. Potential triggers may be plots of revenge, knife dueling, sibling fights, and hatred.
