The King of the Crags

The Memory of Flames, Book 2
by Stephen Deas

In The Adamantine Palace, Prince Jehal murdered, poisoned and betrayed his way to the top. In The King of the Crags, as the new speaker for the realms, Prince Jehal’s opposition has been crushed, and all he has to do is enjoy the fruits of power. But although he married is now wife for power, Prince Jehal feels more for her than he show, and his lover senses this much.

Jehal cannot rest easy on the throne because he is aware that out in the realms those loyal to the old regime are still plotting against him. Plus, there are rumors that the Red Riders, heralds of revolution and doom, are on the rise. The famous white dragon may still be alive — the dragon that, it if lived, will have long since recovered from the effects of the alchemical liquid fed to the dragons of the realm to keep them docile, to block their memories of a time when they ruled and the world burned.

The empire is falling, and the dragons are on the rise.
