Rise of the Storm (The Desolate Empire Book 1)

Description

Prince Kendryk is young, handsome, and popular, his kingdom prosperous and peaceful. But in the face of the prophesied apocalypse, he must choose between conscience and power. If he chooses the side of faith, he must defy the ruthless Empress Teodora, ruler of a vast empire, and thus imperil kingdom and family—but if he chooses the side of power, he risks plunging his world into a darkness worse than war.

The coming conflict will touch the lives of thousands. Among them is . . .

Prince Kendryk’s adored wife, Gwynneth, the proud daughter of a king, whose ambition may come at great cost.

Braeden, a violent mercenary, commander of a legendary winged army, who will find himself in the service of an employer he must defy to protect those he holds dear.

And Janna, the merchant’s wife, forced to abandon her home and her way of life, ill-prepared to keep herself and her children safe from the ravages of war.
